Vietnam delegation hosted by Monash Sustainable Institute


A

 ministerial-level delegation from Vietnam was recently hosted by the Monash Sustainable Institute.

Vietnam has many climate change impacts similar to those experienced in Australia and the ministerial deputation was eager to learn how Australia was adapting to changes being wrought by climate change.

In the story - “MSI hosts Vietnamese delegation for climate adaptation workshop” – the university said, “Vietnam is also highly exposed to climate change, with most of its population living in dense coastal cities vulnerable to sea-level rise, typhoons and floods. Its two major rivers - the Mekong and the Red River - are subject to changes in upstream countries, particularly China.”
