A workshop sharing experience on the adapting climate change through radio series was held in the Mekong Delta province of Tien Giang on June 5.

The event was co-organised by the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development and the non-governmental organisation Oxfam.

Since February 2014, Oxfam has provided 4.2 billion VND (195,000 USD) for the three Mekong Delta provinces of Tien Giang, Ben Tre, and Tra Vinh to broadcast the series on local radio stations.

The series aims to raise public awareness of climate change adaptation, providing local people with fundamental knowledge on the issue.

According to a survey implemented in Tien Giang’s Go Cong Tay and Tan Phu Dong districts, about 77 percent of the community got information about climate change adaption from radios at the commune and district levels.

They also appreciated information on environmental protection, weather forecasts, rising sea levels and cattle-breeding technologies.-VNA
