#Causes:
Increasing of temperature;
(during the last 50 years)
Rainfall in the southern
coastal zones.
The frequency of tropical cyclones in the
East.
Sea level rise along Vietnam coast.
Several types Of food.
Climate Change Impact :
Agriculture :
Rising sea level in the Delta would
expose 45% of the land to extreme
salinization and crop damage, with
rice productivity falling by 9%.
2.Human Impacts:
Climate change is expected to worsen the
worriesome impacts of natural disasters on
the
population of
Vietnam, which
are felt primarily
by the poor and vulnerable, especially women,
children and the elderly.
Four major sources of health impacts are:
Extreme weather;
Droughts and heavy rainfalls (causing
significant reduction in crop yields).
Increasing the number of warmth days in
large cities,along with forest fires.
Changes in temperature and rainfall patterns.
Forest and Biodiversity loss:
The impacts of predicted temperature
increases are likely to have significant effects
on forest and biodiversity. Many areas and
natural system wil
be badly affected due to a lack of adaptive
capacity.
Urbanisation :
Climate change will impact urban
dedevelopment.The ADB HO CHI MINH city
adaptation to climate change study
analyzed climate change impact on Ho Chi
Minh city,where half of the land areas is
less than sea level(ADB,2010).
Transport:
During 2001-2005, extreme weather events
cost the transport sector D2,571 billion in
damage. According to Monre,11,000,km of
roads could be submerged. The total length
of national highways threatened would be
695 km.
water resources :
less reliable and reduced river flows;
pressure on the water supply ;
Upstream -downstream water management
Issues ;
Affecting flow and
sediment deposition;
Drought:
Location of southern
Vietnam,
Water from Mekong, being under pressure
before the drought.
Nexus between Climate Change and Human
Security :
Directly related to the growth of violent
conflict and terrorism ;
Complex security architecture overlapping
marritime territorial claims;
Northward fish migration ;
potential for poverty, ununemployment,
violence and conflict.
The major transnational security challenges
as perceived by the Vietnamese :
Regime opposition ;
Terrorism ;
Infectious diseases ;
Natural disaster
Environmental crimes
Hazardous cheap products
Human trafficking and
drug trafficking ( proximity to the Golden Triangle).
Adaptation measures :
Coastal zones:
Human trafficking and
drug trafficking ( proximity to the Golden Triangle).
Adaptation measures
Coastal zones:
Human resources ;
statistical information;
Co-operative infrastructure ;
Regulation on climate
mitigation.
Therefore, this policies should be applied
