In the widespread campaign to observe this year’s World Environment Day launched by the UNISFA Mission, there are participants form international military, civilian personnel, and peacekeepers from various nations. Viet Nam’s Engineering Unit Rotation 3 was an active participant in these efforts.

In early June, the series of activities began with environmental sanitation campaigns and plastic waste collection in Mul Mul Market—an area known for its high population density and significant levels of household waste, Nhan Dan Online reported.

On June 5, a formal meeting to mark World Environment Day was held at the UNISFA headquarters. At the event, a mission leader stated that Every small action we take today determines the shape of our planet tomorrow.

“We commend and greatly appreciate the ongoing contributions of peacekeepers—not only for maintaining security but also for preserving our shared ecosystem,” said the UNISFA representative.

The Vietnamese peacekeeping unit not only played an active role in the campaign but also led several initiatives, namely waste collection, public awareness campaigns, tree planting, and transporting plastic waste to proper disposal sites.

In addition to World Environment Day activities, Viet Nam’s Engineering Unit Rotation 3 has made significant contributions to improving local awareness and quality of life in Abyei. According to the Vietnamese unit, building environmental awareness in communities can start with small and simple actions, such as an awareness session or a personal example of picking up litter.

Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Duy Nam shared that, despite the harsh climate, limited facilities, and low environmental awareness among the local population, coordinated efforts have brought about meaningful changes.”

“Our activities for World Environment Day reflect the unit’s strong commitment not only to peacekeeping duties but also to the international community’s collective efforts in environmental protection,” said Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Duy Nam.
