Feasible solutions will be documented to be shared with localities vulnerable to climate change impacts, under a project implemented by the Centre for Marine Life Conservation and Community Development (MCD), a Vietnamese non-governmental organization.
MCD started the project in 2012 with the aim of raising awareness and changing the behaviours of target communities regarding climate change, at the same time increasing livelihood and eco-system resilience to climate change.
The project, titled “Partnership for equitable resilience to the impacts of climate change of coastal communities in Vietnam ”, covers Nam Dinh and Thai Binh provinces and Hai Phong City in the Red River Delta, with a focus on coastal communities. It will last through 2014.-VNA
