Vietnam is one of the most hazard-prone countries in the Asia-Pacific Region and is ranked among the five countries likely to be most affected by climate change. The country is regularly exposed to hydro-meteorological hazards including severe storms, cyclones, typhoons, floods, landslides, and coastal erosion. About 70% of the population lives in coastal communities with high exposure to storm and flooding, which climate change is intensifying.
