A story on Mother Jones website by Kate Sheppard, who visited a Oxfam-supported project in Vietnam as a part of the Sixth International Conference on Community-based Adaptation (CBA6) to see how communities living in different ecosystems have adapted to climate change. Read the full story here.
Viet Nam is one of the most vulnerable countries in the world to climate change and poor men and women are particularly at risk. The government’s impressive achievements in pulling millions of people out of poverty are seriously jeopardised by the likely increase in extreme weather events such as severe rainfall and drought, and by slow climate changes like sea level rises and warming temperatures.
Find out more about how poor families are experiencing the changing climate, and how they might deal with this in the future in this report, Vietnam: Climate Change Adaptation and Poor People.
