Participants looked at climate change scenarios of target areas, debated climate change impacts on socio-economic development, and identified areas vulnerable to climate change.
Experts of the GTK, IMHEN, and CWRPI presented the outcomes of their studies on trends of temperature, rainfall, sea level rise and climate change scenarios of Ba Ria-Vung Tau province.
They also reported on climate change impacts on underground water resources in the province, and recommended climate change adaptation measures for the locality.-VNA
