HCM City (VNA) –Leaders of parliaments in the Asia-Pacific region and the Inter-ParliamentaryUnion (IPU) made fact-finding trips to some areas in Ho Chi Minh City on May 12to learn about climate change impacts.

Joining the trips, whichformed part of an IPU symposium on response to climate change, were Vietnam’sNational Assembly Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan, IPU President SaberChowdhury, IPU Secretary-General Martin Chungong, and about 200 representativesfrom the parliaments of 24 regional countries and international organisations.

The delegates visited Dan Xay residential area,which is often inundated by tidal surges and has been suffered from landerosion. Although the area is part of the Can Gio protective forest – a worldbiosphere reserve, unplanned land reclamation for house building there hasinfluenced the recovery and development of the submerged forest ecosystem.

The parliamentarians were briefed on to HCMCity’s response to the problem, which is resettling households to safer places.The resettlement is meant to protect the Can Gio forest while improving localresidents’ material and spiritual life.

After visiting the Dan Xay residential area, participantsplanted trees at an area zoned off for building the Rung Sac Cultural Park inCan Thanh town of Can Gio district.

Speaking at the tree planting ceremony, ViceChairman of the HCM City People’s Committee Le Thanh Liem said climate changeis a major challenge for the world in the 21st century. HCM City has been wellaware of climate change impacts and has taken many solutions such asafforestation and forest protection to mitigate climate change’s negativeimpacts on the local people’s life and socio-economic development.

The 50 bang vuong (Barringtonia asiatica) treesplanted during the event are adaptive to drought and other severe climateconditions, he noted.

Applauding HCM City’s organisation of the treeplanting event, IPU President Saber Chowdhury said the IPU symposium on climatechange response for the parliaments in the Asia-Pacific region is not simply adialogue but also demonstrates legislators’ actions in the face of climatechange.

Planting trees is an investment in the futureand will enrich the ecosystem and reduce the emission of CO2 and othergreenhouse gases, he said, expressing his hope that each delegate would promotetree planting in their countries.-VNA
