ABSTRACT

Climate change is one of the topics that draws full attention from many countries worldwide, including Vietnam, because it affects not only the health of human beings, but also agricultural production, economics, cultural and social activities, security, and politics. It is estimated that by 2100, the global income may have decreased by over 20% if there is no climate change mitigation (Burke, 2015). On average, disasters affect the lives of 250 million people and cause about 66,000 deaths worldwide (Webster, Ginnetti, Walker, Coppard, & Kent, 2009). More importantly, children account for about 50% of the victims of climate change (Save the Children, 2007).
