Abstract
Vietnam is considered as one of the countries to be severely affected by climate change and thus response to climate change is of crucial importance to Vietnam, particularly in coastal areas. Rises in average temperatures have been observed over the last decades, as well as substantial changes to precipitation patters. The average temperatures have been rising and the total precipitation has increased, especially during the rainy seasons, which is important for flood water management. In northern Vietnam the precipitation during the dry seasons has decreased, which poses important challenges to water management.
