| Project Detail |
Vietnams Thua Thien Hue Province is highly exposed to climate change, including storms, floods, droughts, coastal and river erosion, and soil and water salinization. Populations dependent on agriculture are particularly at risk, as climate change negatively affects crop yields, leading to food insecurity and economic losses. Despite government adaptation efforts, barriers such as insufficient public funding, a lack of coordination, inadequate integration of climate risks into development plans, and limited access to climate-resilient agricultural practices and financing hinder climate-efficient development in the province. Project objectives To address these challenges, the project will strengthen the climate resilience of local communities and ecosystems. The project also aims to improve the regions early warning system, strengthen climate-resilient planning, and sustainably manage more than 100,000 hectares of agricultural and forest land. It will invest in ecosystem-based adaptation and build climate-resilient value chains in the agricultural sector. Project intervention strategy Through a strong participatory approach, the project integrates climate adaptation into socio-economic development plans and establishes an effective monitoring and evaluation system. It emphasizes gender mainstreaming, ensuring womens participation and addressing gender disparities in climate adaptation efforts. The projects overall strategy not only aims to reduce the provinces vulnerability but also serves as a model for climate change adaptation in Vietnam. |
