(VOVworld) - The World Vision and Trieu Phong district in the central province of Quang Tri on Thursday co-launched a host of activities in response to World Environment Day, through which new initiatives for environment problems, including climate change, were unveiled. 

The organizing board presented 100,000 USD to the district, which will be spent on building biogas tanks, collecting waste and processing household tap water. The event formed part of the project “Developing initiatives for environment protection in Trieu Phong district” co-funded by the World Vision and the Korea International Cooperation Agency. 
Beginning this year, the 600,000 USD project will run until 2017, helping over 5,200 households in the communes of Trieu Trach, Trieu Son, Trieu Tai and Trieu Thuong benefit from environmentally-friendly models.
