Current Understanding of Attribution of Climate Change in Vietnam

Helpdesk Report
  • William Avis
December 2024

Question

Carry out an evidence and literature review of:

• Specific - climate attribution studies done on Vietnam and summarise the conclusions and range of impacts.
• Wider understanding - Studies that have drawn a link between climate and risks found in Vietnam.
• Future facing - Studies that have looked to the future and provided an assessment or analysis of climate risk impacts – including how climate change is likely to affect the economy, energy sector, food security etc.

Summary

This K4DD Rapid Evidence Review provides an overview of the current understanding of the attribution of climate change in Vietnam.

It draws on an expanding evidence base that includes academic and grey literature. The literature identified presents a complex and multifaceted picture with regional variation across the country and in the wider East and South East Asian region.

The focus of individual studies also influences findings making it difficult to synthesise across research (i.e., research focusing on typhoons, precipitation, wind speed or a mixture of these). It is also important to note that changes in weather-related patterns impact Vietnam in multifaceted ways.
