On April 10, at the United Nations Green Building, the Embassy of Sweden, the United Nations and the Live and Learn organization launched a campaign called `7 days challenge`.

Swedish Ambassador to Vietnam Pereric Högberg said that there was a time when Sweden did not care about environmental protection because it focused on other goals.
