Scaling Climate-Smart Mapping and Adaptation Planning in Vietnam 21 December, 2020 - 10:00
An effective approach for risk mapping and adaptation planning is being implemented in various important agricultural regions in Vietnam, in order to help farmers mitigate climate-related risks.
With the successful implementation of the Climate-Smart Mapping and Adaptation Planning (CS-MAP) in the provinces of Mekong River Delta (MRD), the Department of Crop Production (DCP) of Vietnam started to apply the same methodology to the provinces of South Central Coast and Northern Midlands and Delta in 2020. For the Northern Midlands and Delta, CS-MAP was used to address irrigation water shortage and to manage reservoirs in the region. On the other hand, CS-MAP is being applied to seven provinces in South Central Coast to help farmers cope with drought and salinity intrusion problems.
