环境退化。越南饱受森林砍伐、土壤退化和水污染之苦。其中森林砍伐活动多为非法活动，导致过去在季风季节起到减缓径流作用的森林不复存在。除此之外，农民也在砍伐树木，作为做饭的燃料。这使得森林以每天5.18平方千米的速度减少。
越战也使越南的森林减少。因为战争造成了二噁英污染。为作出弥补，美国国际开发署在岘港机场进行了二噁英环境整治。目前，美越正在共同努力，在边和机场清除二噁英污染。
内部冲突。越南国内游行示威活动很常见。与环境问题相关的游行活动数量尤其增多，有时有数千人参加。抗议活动会对他们抗议的工厂或机构造成轻微的财产损失。其他如征地补偿不足引起的抗议活动，往往发生在地方政府层面，并演变成与地方政府和警方的口角。
Environmental degradation. Vietnam suffers from deforestation, soil degradation and water pollution. Among them, deforestation is mostly illegal, resulting in the disappearance of forests that used to slow down runoff in the monsoon season. In addition, farmers are cutting down trees as fuel for cooking. This has reduced the forest at a rate of 5.18 square kilometers per day.
The Vietnam War also reduced Vietnam's forests. Because the war caused dioxin pollution. To make up for this, USAID carried out dioxin environmental remediation at Da Nang airport. At present, the United States and Vietnam are making joint efforts to eliminate dioxin pollution at the border and airport.
Internal conflict. Demonstrations are common in Vietnam. Demonstrations related to environmental issues have increased in particular, sometimes involving thousands of people. The protests will cause minor property damage to the factories or institutions they protest. Other protests caused by insufficient land acquisition compensation often occur at the local government level and turn into quarrels with the local government and the police.
