3. Conclusion and recommendation
3.1. Conclusion
Based on the study and assessment of representative case studies for poor groups affected by 
climate changes in the North Central Coastal Region of Vietnam, some conclusions can be drawn as 
follows: 
i.
Climate change has a great impact on the lives of poor people in the North Central Coastal 
Region of Vietnam. The extreme weather events have great impacts, mainly falling into the 
agricultural production group with activities of planting food crops, secondary crops/short-term crops 
and husbandry. Accordingly, the phenomena of droughts, storms, and floods are the biggest causes 
affecting the farming and husbandry activities of the poor. Each livelihood activity may be affected by 
many weather phenomena, but the aforementioned weather phenomena are the most influential factors 
for the livelihood of the poor in the North Central Coastal Region of Vietnam. 
ii
. The ability to adapt to climate change of the poor group in the North Central Coast Region is 
low, due to the current difficult access to markets and the opportunity to find non-agricultural jobs 
here; the ability to link and form associations and operate as a group for non-agricultural occupations 
is less feasible. Geographical conditions are fragmented and infrastructure is limited, so this region is 
also difficult to attract investment. With limited qualifications and skills and capital, and laborers from 
poor households are difficult to change their livelihoods from agriculture to non-agriculture, even in 
the cases where enterprises invest in localities. On the other hand, the capacity and understanding of 
the people about climate changes and the factors affecting climate change as well as the ability to 
adapt and cope with natural disasters of poor households are very limited. The propaganda and 
socialization of resources for disaster reduction in the population are too limited and ineffective.
iii.
The current social security system in Vietnam with the goal of risk management (including 
prevention, mitigation and overcoming risks) is not enough to address specific requirements, such as 
supporting people, households and communities actively prevent risks of life, health, business 
activities and fluctuations of the natural environment for people of this region. In reality, the operation 
of this system in addressing the welfare of the poor in the coastal areas of the north central provinces 
of Vietnam has revealed that.
iv.
Most provinces in the North Central Coastal Region of Vietnam have not had in-depth and 
comprehensive researches on assessing the impacts of climate change on people's lives, especially the 
poor group in the affected areas, as well as having not enough quantitative data on the potential of 
future climate change to develop and implement climate change response plans scientifically in the 
localities. The proper assessment of the impacts of climate changes in each locality, region and with 
specific social groups in provinces and cities is a prerequisite for coping with climate changes and 
natural disasters more effective in reality.
