SUMMARY:Climate Change Training | 25-27 January 2016 | Hue\, Vietnam
DESCRIPTION:Vietnam’s long coastline\, geographic location\, and diverse topography and climates contribute to its being one of the most hazard-prone countries of the Asia-Pacific region\, with storms and flooding\, in particular\, responsible for economic and human losses. Given that a high proportion of the country’s population and economic assets (including irrigated agriculture) are located in coastal lowlands and deltas\, Vietnam has been ranked among the five countries likely to be most affected by climate change\, its Mekong Delta is one of the world’s three most vulnerable deltas (together with the Nile Delta in Egypt and the Ganges Delta in Bangladesh) to the sea level rising. According to climate change scenarios\, in late 21st century\, Viet Nam’s yearly mean temperature will go up by 2-30C\, the total yearly and seasonal rainfall increases while the rainfall in dry seasons will decrease\, the sea level can rise by 75 cm to 1 m compared to the 1980-1999 period. If the sea level rises by 1 m\, about 40% of the Mekong Delta area\, 11% of the Red River Delta and 3% of coastal provinces will be inundated (over 20% of Ho Chi Minh City flooded); about 10-12% of Viet Nam’s population are directly impacted and the country will lose around 10% of GDP. Climate change impacts on Viet Nam are serious threats to the cause of poverty reduction\, the realization of millennium goals and the country’s sustainable development. \nThe Vietnam Red Cross (‘VNRC’) has long and intensive experience\, almost 20 years\, in carrying out disaster risk reduction programs which also contributed to climate change adaptation and mitigation. Though playing an active role in this field for a long time\, VNRC still identified a gap in its capacity with regard to the climate change. Therefore\, two VNRC staff and one IFRC Vietnam Delegation have attended the Regional Master Climate Change Training in Phuket\, Thailand in September 2014. The training aimed to build up a pool of climate change trainers who will then facilitate trainings in SEA National Societies. Following this training\, the VNRC staff has successfully advocated the VNRC leaders to integrate climate change into the on-going and future CBDRM/DRR projects. \n\n\nIn order to facilitate the integration\, the VNRC\, with support from IFRC Bangkok\, organized a climate change training in Hue\, Vietnam\, from 25 – 27 January 2016 for 25 VNRC trainers at provincial level who will subsequently be mobilized for facilitating trainings for communities and promote integration of climate change into their projects. \nFor more details\, please see the training’s Terms of Reference/Concept Note | Agenda | Participant List (see Annex 2 of Report) | Report \n  \nPower point presentations during the training\, all presentations are in Vietnamese [VN] : \n\nOverview of global and Vietnam climate change; Basic science and facts of climate change – past\, present and the future [VN]\nImpacts of climate change [VN]\nFrequently used basic climate change terminologies and their definitions [VN]\nSharing the main results of COP 21\, content of Paris Agreements and its implications to Vietnam [VN]\nVietnam Government and climate change: National Strategy and Plan of Action on Climate Change and National Target Program for responding to Climate Change [VN]\nResponse to climate change (adaptation and mitigation) and mainstreaming (including in VCA process) [VN]\nHealth and climate change [VN]\nAssessing climatic risks at community level and mainstreaming adaptation in community based project activities [VN]\nEarly warning early action; Public awareness public education [VN]\nOrientation of Viet Nam Red Cross on disaster preparedness and response (including mainstreaming of climate change) [VN]\n\n\nReference materials for the training participants:\n\n\nSummary for Policymakers: Viet Nam Special Report on Managing the Risks of Extreme Events and Disasters to Advance Climate Change Adaptation (Jan 2015) [EN]\nApproval of Vietnam contribution in Paris Agreement (COP 21)\nVietnam’s recommended contribution for intended nationally determined contribution (INDC)
