4 ANNOUNCEMENT Hanoi, January 22,

5 Basis for reporting Viet Nam special report on managing the risks of extreme events and disasters to advance climate change adaptation (SREX Vietnam) was prepared based on the framework of Special Report of Intergovernmental Panel on Managing the Risks of Extreme Events and Disasters to Advance Climate Change (SREX, IPCC, 2012a). Similarly, a summary report was made based on SREX summary report s framework (IPCC, 2012b).

6 Purposes of the report SREX Vietnam analyzing the Vietnam s circumstances, which: Analyzes and evaluates the extreme events, their impacts on Vietnam s natural environment, social-economic and sustainable development. Assesses the altering of extreme weather events in the future due to climate change (CC). Interaction between the climate, environment and peoples, aiming at promoting adaptation to CC and natural disaster risks and extreme events control in Vietnam.

Extreme events, extreme impacts, natural disasters Extreme events identified by physical characteristics. Extreme impacts. 3. Disaster management, DR, risk sharing CC makes DRM more complex. CC takes part in DRM. DRM and CC adaptation. KHÍ HẬU 4.

14 Chapter 2: The decisive factors of climate risks: Exposures to hazards and vulnerability Analyzing and evaluate the climate risk decisive factors, specifically theà level of exposures to hazards and the vulnerability, new trends and interactions between elements 1) Determinants of risks. 2) Determinants of vulnerability. 3) The capacity to cope with and adapt to. 4) New trends of vulnerability and exposure: Environmental, social, economic, interdisciplinary factors, interactions and integration of the factors. 5) Identification, assessment and communication on DE. 6) Cumulative Risks. Environ mental Social Econo mic Geography, context, location Settlement, development models Adaptation measures Demography Education, health, welfare Social relations Institution and governance National: Socio-economic development Community: livelihoods and personal and family stuff Interdi sciplin ary and integra tive

15 Chapter 3: The changes of Climate Extremes (CE) and impacts on naturally phisical environment 1) Weather and climate related disasters. 2) Data and CE analysis method. 3) Changes of some climate extremes. Temperatures, rain, other extremes. 4) Transformation of large-scale circulations affecting CE. Monsoons, storms and tropical depression, El Nino and Southern oscillation. 5. Impacts on the natural environment conditions. Heat, drought, heavy rain, flooding, hoarfrost, freezing, extreme sea level. ( o C/10 năm) Tmax ( o C/10 năm) Tmin

16 Chapter 4: The changes in impacts of CE and natural disasters to ecological system and livelihoods 1) Relations between CE, disasters and hazards exposure and Climate mutation (CM) of natural-social phenomena Cơ sở lí luận The nature of relationship between CE, natural disasters and hazards exposure and CM of natural-social system in Vietnam. Level of exposure, CE impacts, natural disaster, CM of natural-social system in Vietnam. 2) Impacts of CC, CE to natural-social system in Vietnam Water Resources. The natural ecosystems. Food systems, food security. Residential sites, infrastructure and tourism. Health, life safety, welfare

17 Chapter 5: EC risk management at local level Presentation: Importance of the State Companies, Socio-Tầm institutions and local communities in DRM. Each locality was exposed and vulnerable for certain disasters. These disasters are not identical in nature, intensity and frequency in each locality. Therefore DRM also varies locally. Focusing on 3 topics: 1) How to manage the current disaster risks 2) Impacts of CE to security, people at the local level 3) Possibilities of resilience, adaptation, and mitigation of DRM and CE at the local level.

18 Chapter 6: System for Disaster Risks and CE Management in Vietnam 1) DRM and CE system in Vietnam. 2) Integration of DRM and CC adaptation in the plans and policies. 3) Legal documents, institutions and finance. 4) Methods and tools used in practice. 5) Link DRM VN system with challenges related to CC.

20 Chapter 8: Towards a future with sustainability and resilience Considering DRM relationship to sustainable development and mutual impact between the present time and the future. Evaluation of aspects related to environmental resources, social and sustainable development; analyzing the relationship between DRM, CC adaptation and emissions reduction. Identifying solutions and plans to cope with CE in the future. Emphasize the synergies between DRM and CC adaptation, which aims to build a sustainable society in the future.

21 Chapter 9: Case studies Case studies Objective: Analyze the extreme case studies to provide information, raise the awareness and learn lessons. Lessons learnt Scope: Case studies are categorized including: storm, flood, flash flood, urban flood, drought, hot wave, cold spell, intrusion. Content: Provide basic information on phenomenon, impact, damage and adaptive measure, finally lesson learnt.

22 Conclusion remark 1) This is one of the VPCC s achievements. 2) The most in-depth report on DRM and extremes aiming at promote CC adaptation. 3) One scientific product which comes from the existing studies, not a brand-new one, for the first time. 4) Engaging about 60 scientists specializing in climate, disasters, environment, natural resources, social science and CC, voluntarily contributing to science.
