INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
1) The National Target Program (NTP) will communicate priority
activities addressing the urgent and immediate needs and concerns
of the country, relating to adaptation to the impacts of CC.
2) Activities proposed through NTP would be those whose further
delay could increase vulnerability, or lead to increased costs at a
later stage.
3) The NTP will be presented in the form of a document specifying a
list of priority activities, with a concise justification based on a
tight set of criteria.
4) The NTP document will not be an end in itself, but rather a means
for the dissemination, of its proposed program of action to address
its urgent needs for adaptation. The priority activities identified

communities, consider
current vulnerability and
urgent adaptation needs.
• Participatory process,
involves multistakeholder
consultation, two-way
discussions and
feedback..

2.2.1 Assessment of CC Features and Climate
Variability in Vietnam
1) Development of Methodology for CC/Variability Assessment
2) Assessment of Magnitude, Characteristics and Trend of
Change: Temperature; Rainfall; Typhoon and Tropical
depression; Monsoon; Water Resources; Floods and Drought;
ENSO; SLR.
3) Analysis of CC Scenarios for Vietnam for the Period 2010-
2100
• CC scenarios need to be agreed on and accepted before being used in
the evaluation of the effects of climate change.
• The recognition of CC scenarios is also necessary in determining
response measures to set forth instructions and criteria for sectoral and
local planning, to inspect existing infrastructure and planning
strategies for the future.
2.2 Evaluation of CC Impacts
2.2.2 Preliminary Evaluation of CC Impacts
Evaluate the impacts of CC on different socio-economic sectors,
industries and localities, especially those are sensitive and
vulnerable to effects of CC.
1)Impacts of CC on Natural Resources: Water sources; Effects of
SLR; Land use; Environment; Ecosystems.
2)Impacts of CC on Sectors: Energy; Construction; Transportation;
