Strategic Mainstreaming of Ecosystem-based Adaptation in Vietnam: Vulnerability Assessment for Ecosystem-based Adaptation

The GIZ project “Strategic Mainstreaming of Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) in Vietnam” is working to promote EbA approaches in Climate Change Adaptation planning across government policy and planning systems. The EbA vulnerability assessments are to be conducted in two main stages, first at the province-wide level, and then subsequently at the community level or local-scale in selected areas. 

The project’s approach of starting with a provincial level vulnerability assessment before focusing at the micro-level; and of simplifying the overall process is already innovative and requires more detailed description. This report Strategic Mainstreaming of Ecosystem-based Adaptation in Vietnam: Vulnerability Assessment for Ecosystem-based Adaptation therefore sets out the overall EbA vulnerability assessment approach as it is being developed and tested.
