Abstract

The United Nations has identified climate change as a preeminent challenge to humanity in the 21st century. According to statistics, annual damage caused by climate change is about USD 125 billion. This figure is expected to reach USD 600 billion in 2030. In Vietnam, loss levels due to climate are estimated to account for between 1.0 and 1.5 percent of the country's annual gross domestic product. It has been observed that the frequency and intensity of natural disasters in Vietnam (such as floods, storms, rains, droughts, extremely hot and hot weather, salinity and sea-level rise, etc.) are increasing anomalously in extreme directions. It is therefore difficult to predict and respond, leading to a considerable increase in losses.

In the context of climate change and on the basis of the Mekong Delta's sustainable development orientation as outlined in resolution No.120/NQ-CP, ongoing and future studies on nature-based farming models for climate change adaptation in the western Mekong Delta coast will improve the livelihoods of people in this region.
