CLIMATE CHANGE AND IMPACTS IN VIET NAM CLIMATE CHANGE AND IMPACTS IN VIET NAM • Viet Nam is considered as one of the most vulnerable countries due to CC and sea level rise. • If sea level rise of 1 m, Viet Nam will loose about 12% of land, 23% of population will be affected. • Typhoons occur more frequently with higher intensity. • Temperature increases and change in rainfall pattern will affect agriculture and water resources. 1 m 2 m 3 m 4 m 5 m WB 2007 Impacts of sea level rise “Large percentage of Vietnam’s population and economic activities are located in these two river deltas. 14% of Vietnam population would be impacted by a 1m SLR. This is the largest percentage of impacted population among all 84 countries. Vietnam impacted population would reach 35% with a 5m SLR. The impact of SLR on Vietnam’s GDP and urban extent follow the impact on its population”. Inundation in Mekong River Delta due to 1 m Sea Level Rise Source: HMS • Annual average temperature increases about 0.10C per decade. In some summer months, temperature increases about 0.1- 0.3 o C per decade.
