Produktbeschreibung
Vietnam is categorized as one of the very few countries in the world most heavily affected by climate change. Particularly, the country's agriculture, on which nearly two-thirds of the population depend, has experienced severe impacts of climate change. Many studies have investigated climate change impacts, vulnerability and adaptation in the agriicultural sector in Vietnam. However, very few studies focus on North Vietnam where climate change is increasingly affecting farmers' livelihood. In addition, the gender dimension, which is a substantial element of climate change vulnerability and adaptation, has not been investigated and analyzed in current climate change studies of Vietnam, in general, and North Vietnam, in particular. This study investigates climate change vulnerability and adaptation in the agricultural sector and analyzes climate change vulnerability and adaptation from the gender perspective. Focusing on North Vietnam, the objectives of this study are to examine farmers' perceptions of climate change impacts, assess the vulnerability and resilience of agriculture to climate change, investigate the livelihood vulnerability of farmers to climate change, explore the factors affecting farmers' choices of adaptation to climate change, and investigate the livelihood vulnerability and adaptation to climate change from a gender perspective.
