Climate Change and Development in Vietnam: Agriculture and Adaptation for the Mekong Delta Region

SHARE THIS PAGE:

This paper provides a brief overview of the development of Vietnam’s agriculture sector in the Mekong Regions. It also examines past responses to climate and policy changes pre-1950, from 1950 to the present, and how climate change will affect agriculture in the next 20-25 years. It will examine some of the possible adaptation options and the benefits, costs, and tradeoffs involved with each option. The paper should be used as a point of discussion, and will hopefully spark further analysis on adaptation to climate change for Vietnam’s agriculture sector.
