The University of Hull has secured almost £300,000 of funding to help young people in Vietnam better understand and tackle climate change.

A collaboration between the University’s Faculty of Arts, Cultures and Education and the Energy & Environment Institute submitted a bid to the British Academy for the funding, focused on communities living in the Red River region in northern Vietnam.

A team from the University will now support young people in Vietnam to come up with imaginative ways to mitigate the impact of climate change and flooding in the Red River region.
