Abstract

The article discusses the main effects of climate change on socio-economic processes in the coastal areas of Vietnam.As the climate continues to change, millions of people face growing challenges related to extreme events that affect health, economies, migration and forced displacement and other associated risks. Vietnam is one of the first countries to acutely feel the effects of global climate change. It is coastal areas, such as the Mekong Delta in the first place, that are subjected to devastating floods and tropical cyclones every year, causing enormous economic damage and causing the need to relocate large numbers of people. As a country heavily affected by climate change, Vietnam has come up with many solutions to adapt to climate change and minimize the impact of climate change. Viet Nam is also one of the first developing countries in the world to include a commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the legal system for the entire population to comply with. Gradual climate events such as rising temperatures and rising sea levels affect livelihoods and can lead to long-term migration. This article analyzes the impact of global climate change on Vietnam, namely coastal areas. Coastal areas can be a powerful engine for Vietnam's further economic and social development, but rapid urbanization, economic growth and climate change mean that disaster risks will inevitably increase in the future. The socio-economic consequences of global climate change are determined, in particular for the coastal regions of Vietnam. Attempts to respond to global climate change are presented. To date, the region has implemented many policies and programs related to climate change.
