【 摘 要 】

The recent assessment reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and various other scientific sources confirm that climate change is already taking place and having discernable impacts. Reducing vulnerability to climate change has become an urgent issue, especially in developing countries, which are more vulnerable because of their lack of financial resources, institutional and technological constraints, low local expertise, and limited research capacity (Grasso 2007: 223, Huq & Reid 2007, IPCC 2007). Although Vietnam has only played a small part in creating the problems of global environmental change and faces many other challenges, it cannot avoid the impacts of climate change. Implementing adaptation policies seems mandatory.
