In particular, the UN stressed that a commitment to cutting emissions is no longer an option, but an inevitable trend globally. In his opening remarks at the virtual summit, UN Secretary-General António Guterres underscored the undeniable fact that the world is facing a dramatic emergency on climate, calling on countries to “declare a state of climate emergency” to promote effective actions towards containing global warming and preventing it from causing catastrophic consequences. The summit was held five years since the Paris Agreement on climate change was adopted by more than 190 countries, creating an important turning point for the world to build a greener, cleaner and more sustainable future. However, according to a UN report released ahead of the conference, most of the current commitments to emission reduction are not strong enough to effectively respond to the rising global heat. Signatories to the Paris climate accord have pledged actions to limit global temperature increase to well below 2 degrees Celsius compared to the pre-industrial level, towards limiting temperature rise below 1.5 degrees Celsius. However, the UN report pointed out that even if countries implement their commitments to cutting emissions, it is still unlikely to help reverse the global temperature rise trend at a “catastrophic” level of 3 degrees Celsius in the 21 st century. This situation will lead to a much more serious crisis than the current COVID-19 pandemic. The warning of danger from the UN is quite comprehensible. After five years of the implementation of the Paris Agreement, many commitments to reduce emissions have been made, but have proved to be not strong and effective enough. Carbon pollution remains serious, with global temperatures hitting record highs in November, making it the hottest month in history. The Earth’s temperature rises has seen the emergence of unprecedented and extreme weather patterns across all regions with an increasing frequency. 2020 has …

" I want each product of VGreen to be a bold mark to honour my country’s flavourful and fruitful agriculture and farming as well as showcase the richness and beauty of Vietnamese nature." As a fan of natural friendly and healthy lifestyle and cuisine, Tran Thanh Viet found her love for healthy beverages thanks to a trip to a French wine farm and exploring the impacts of wine on the health and beauty of women. The passion and desire for creating healthy beverages from fully planted-in-Vietnam natural ingredients urged Viet to turn her dream and mission into reality, and so VGreen was born. “It sounds abstract, but the mission of a woman is very simple. Firstly, I can do the work I love and make me confident and proud of. When we women feel confident and happy, we will become more and more beautiful, and even younger than our own age. With what I have done in my mission with VGreen since 2006, I feel happier and younger with the natural non-alcohol products my team creates for our beautiful clients,” said Viet. According to Viet, we need to love ourselves and take care of our body and soul more carefully through the food we eat, beverages we drink, air we breathe, and the living spaces we stay and work in every day. “If we take care of ourselves properly, age cannot become a reason to hinder the wonderful opportunities that life offers.” Those concerns have become the driving force to help her break her limits and bring her beauty maintenance “know-how” to share with everyone, especially women who want to lose weight. Viet is trying her utmost to help overweight women control their weight and improve their health by eating and drinking healthy using particular ingredients instead of fast medicines. Her zero-degree ginger beer to help the body fight cancer and support weight loss; Kombucha fermented tea to detox the body and strengthen resistance; and pink collagen tea with anti-ageing and skin beauty effects are VGreen’s outstanding beverages that have …
