  "summary": "Hyundai Engineering has concluded a three-year climate change initiative in Vietnam's Thanh Hoa Province, transferring educational facilities and reforested land to local institutions to ensure lasting impact. The handover ceremony, held on October 14 at Hong Duc University, transferred a climate change education center to the university and a tree-planting site to Ben En National Park. Approximately 600 people, including company representatives and local officials, attended the event. The initiative, launched in 2024, has focused on enhancing climate awareness and environmental response capabilities among students, teachers, and residents through lessons, recycling education, waste collection campaigns, and tree planting activities. Following the handover, Hong Duc University plans to independently operate the education center and expand its reach to primary, middle, and high schools across the province, potentially reaching 720,000 students. The university also intends to integrate climate change-related subjects into its curriculum. Hyundai Engineering also supported ecological restoration around Song Muc Lake in Ben En National Park, planting around 44,000 Melaleuca trees across 10 hectares to help reduce soil erosion and water pollution. The project reflects Hyundai Engineering's commitment to improving quality of life through its projects, with the local institutions now equipped to sustain the program and pursue a more sustainable future independently.",
