VIET NAM
NAM
• Viet Nam is considered as one of the most vulnerable
countries due to CC and sea level rise.
• If sea level rise of 1 m, Viet Nam will loose about 12% of
land, 23% of population will be affected.
• Typhoons occur more frequently with higher intensity.
• Temperature increases and change in rainfall pattern will
affect agriculture and water resources.

WB 2007
“Large percentage of
Vietnam’s population and
economic activities are
located in these two river
deltas. 14% of Vietnam
population would be
impacted by a 1m SLR. This
is the largest percentage of
impacted population among
all 84 countries. Vietnam
impacted population would
reach 35% with a 5m SLR.
The impact of SLR on
Vietnam’s GDP and urban
extent follow the impact on
its population”.

Climate Change in Vietnam
• Annual average temperature
increases about 0.10C per decade.
In some summer months,
temperature increases about 0.10.3oC per decade.
• More heavy
rainfalls
causing severe
floods;
• Rainfall
decreases in
dry season
(Jul., Aug.) and
increases in
rainy season
(Sep. to Nov.).

Typhoon trajectory moves southward
and typhoon season shifts to later
months of the year;
Climate Change in Vietnam
• High floods occur more frequently in the Central
and Southern Vietnam.
• Drought happen every year in most regions of the
country.
Climate Change Vietnam
• ENSO has stronger effects
on weather regime and
climatic features in various
areas of Viet Nam;
• Sea level rises from 2.5-3
cm per decade in the last
century.

temperature (IPCC AR4

• Large areas in Mekong and Red River deltas
would be under salt water due to sea level
rise.

communication
Impacts on Water Resources
• Instability in rainfall would cause
more severe floods in rainy season
and droughts in dry season.
• Increase in frequency and intensity
of typhoons, storms would cause
high floods & inundation, flash
floods, landslide and erosion.
• Increasing water shortage and
growing water demand threaten
water supply, water use conflicts.

Impacts on Forestry
• Decrease of mangrove forest,
due to sea level rise.
• Forest with drought stand
varieties would increase due to
low soil moisture and high
evapotranspiration.
• Biodiversity degradation:
extinction of endangered
species;
• Increasing risk of forest fire;
• Increase and wide spread of
plant pests and diseases.

Impacts on Aquaculture & Fisheries
• Sea level rise would reduce fresh
water creatures in rivers &
estuaries, high temperature –
reduce high valuable sub-tropical
fishes;
• Habitat loss for young creatures
due to mangrove decrease;
• Reducing sea products
productivity and commercial
quality due to:
– Migration of fishes;
– Reduction of body weight.
Source: Vietnam National communication
Impacts on Coastal Zone
• Large areas of the Mekong, Red River
deltas and Central coastal zone would
be inundated due to sea level rise.
• Coastal & estuarine wetlands would
be affected due to frequent floods,
severe drought & salinity (Ca Mau,
Ho Chi Minh City, Vung Tau and
Nam Dinh)
• Livelihood of coastal population will
be affected by more severe storms,
flood, drought and sea level rise.
Projections for a 1 m sea level rise: 15,00020,000 km2 of Mekong River delta flooded,
affecting 3.5 to 5 million people, respectively.
IPCC AR4, 2007
Impacts on Energy, Transportation
• Oil, gas platforms would be
affected by typhoons, storms;
• Seaports and roads designed
basing on historical sea level
would be affected.
• Less energy generation due to drought ;
• Unstable flow regimes may lead to conflict in water
regulation at hydropower stations.
• More energy consumption for due to high temperature and
humidity.
