Abstract:

The effects of climate change are having a disproportionately harmful effect on Vietnam, among other countries. Climate change is having the greatest impact on Vietnam's coastal zone due to the country's lengthy coastline and its location in Southeast Asia's tropical monsoon belt. Natural disasters such as hurricanes, floods, droughts, and rising sea levels pose a growing threat to the area. The fishing, farming, tourist, and shipping industries are the ones hit the worst. The livelihood vulnerability of households is evaluated in this research using data from a survey of 200 homes in Ca Mau Province. In order to build livelihoods that can last, five types of capital are crucial, according to the research. In coastal areas, climate change has been increasingly detrimental over the last decade, impacting the lives and livelihoods of residential communities. The climate of Ca Mau province is characterized by high tides, droughts, and heat waves. Climate change is causing many types of livelihood losses for coastal populations, according to the report. Ca Mau province's most susceptible assets are its physical and ecological capital. As a result of climate change, people face additional challenges when trying to get the food they need, such as the effects of drought, floods, and severe rains on coastal households.
