Abstract

This paper describes an effective application of a method by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to calculate the level of vulnerability due to the impact of climate change on the aquaculture ecosystem in Nam Phu commune, Tien Hai district, Thai Binh province. Original data were collected from a series of surveys throughout the research area with information from interviews of people in Nam Phu commune using 95 questionnaires. Our results show that the aquaculture ecosystem in the study area has a high exposure index (E) and sensitivity index (S) with score of 0.76 and 0.71, respectively, while adaptive capacity (AC) is average with score of 0.42. The vulnerability index (V) is 0.68 and can be ranking at highly vulnerable.
