ABSTRACT
Vietnam is considered to be a country that will be seriously affected by the impacts of climate change. According to a 2014 report from a credit rating company, Vietnam is one of the three countries (the other two being Cambodia and Bangladesh) that will suffer the most serious impacts of climate change. In recent decades, the frequency and intensity of storms, floods, rainfall, and droughts have increased dramatically and become harder to forecast. Vietnam is affected by tropical depressions and storms at a frequency of 4.7 times per year. However, these storms are occurring later than in previous years and are moving toward lower latitudes with higher impacts.
