ГЛОБАЛЬНОЕ ИЗМЕНЕНИЕ КЛИМАТА: ТЕНДЕНЦИИ И ПОСЛЕДСТВИЯ ДЛЯ ВЬЕТНАМА

Abstract

The modern scientific theory of global climate change has been developing for several decades, tens of thousands of scientific articles have been published. Climate change and its impacts are already visible in many parts of the world, and coastal areas are highly vulnerable to these changes. The Vietnamese government has foreseen the impact of climate change and has already taken various measures to control the impact of coastal hazards. However, with 3,200 km of coastline, Vietnam still suffers severely from damage caused by floods, erosion and typhoons each year. In addition, most of Vietnam's coastal areas are below 1 m in height, making them particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and associated sea level rise. This article is devoted to the description of the consequences of climate change for Vietnam and analyzes their impact on the socio — economic and demographic situation of the country. The analysis of Vietnam's National Climate Change Strategy for the period 2011-2020 is presented. The study found that Vietnam faces potentially significant social and economic impacts in many regions and sectors. Without effective adaptation and disaster risk reduction efforts, multidimensional poverty and inequality are likely to increase.
