| Summary: | This report’s purpose is to help Vietnam
policy makers and stakeholders prepare for future El
Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events. It does this by
providing information on ENSO’s agricultural, economic, and
poverty impacts in Vietnam and outlining ways forward. The
report finds that ENSO’s impacts vary from region to region
and harm Vietnam’s people, economy, and agricultural sector.
The country prepared for, and responded to, the 2014–2016 El
Niño, but there is still room to improve upon these actions.
Being proactive to prepare for ENSO is important because of
Vietnam’shigh exposure to climate shocks, the prominence of
the agricultural sector in the national economy, the rural
population’s climate vulnerability, and the lack of
researchon ENSO in Vietnam. |
