Climate adaptation and resilience in Thua Thien Hue Province

Due to its long coastline and high coastal and urban population density, Vietnam is one of the countries most vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change. Currently, Vietnam's policies, strategies and plans on climate change and environmental growth consist of transposing global commitments in this area and reflect awareness of the climate threats to people's livelihoods and assets. However, the main challenges are the financing, skills and technological requirements needed to implement these plans.

This project aims to contribute to Vietnam's goal of strengthening the resilience of the population and the natural system to climate change. More specifically, it aims to help local authorities and communities in coastal and lagoon communes to increase their understanding and resilience and reduce their vulnerability to climate change.

The project targets the 29 communes in the districts of Quang Dien, Phu Vang and Phu Loc. Due to their location along the coast or around the lagoon and their low altitude, these districts are considered the most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.
