Vietnam
is exposed to frequent and intense hydro-meteorological hazards such as
storms, floods, and droughts. The proposed local level adaptation pilot
is the Quang Ngai Province, which has experienced very high incidences
of typhoons, floods, riverbank and shoreline erosion, mountain
landslides, and flash floods. The coastal areas are also exposed to sea
level rise, drought, and saline intrusion. Loss and damage due to sea
level rise is linked to fishery productivity, degradation of mangrove
forests, saline intrusion in brackish and freshwater aquaculture zones,
and inundation of transportation infrastructure. Adaptation has been
given serious attention in the country. However, lack of capacity and
resources are major barriers. There is a need for capacity building,
transfer of technology, and financial support to advance adaptation in
