To date, work in the field of climate change adaptation has resulted in many strategies for adaptation. In Vietnam, there have been many climate change adaptation activities implemented but has not been evaluated fully on effectiveness so that we can modify or make a replica of them systematically. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of carried out climate change adaptation activities, it is necessary to assess the current status of climate change adaptation for each local. In this paper, a set of CCA status evaluation indicators was developed and appreciated for Moc Hoa district, Long An province, to support a comprehensive assessment of the adaptation ability of this study area, the validity of investment resources allocation, and vulnerability to expose suitable policies. This set includes three indicators which are natural environment resilience, climate change vulnerability and climate change risk mitigation. The results showed that the environmental resilience indicators and the risk mitigation indicators were arranged at the medium level, while the climate change vulnerability indicators were high.

Climate Change Adaptation Policy

Climate change risk assessment involves formal analysis of the consequences, likelihoods and responses to the impacts of climate change and the options for addressing these under societal constraints. Conventional approaches to risk assessment are challenged by the significant temporal and spatial dynamics of climate change; by the amplification of risks through societal preferences and values; and through the interaction of multiple risk factors. This paper introduces the theme issue by reviewing the current practice and frontiers of climate change risk assessment, with specific emphasis on the development of adaptation policy that aims to manage those risks. These frontiers include integrated assessments, dealing with climate risks across borders and scales, addressing systemic risks, and innovative co-production methods to prioritize solutions to climate challenges with decision-makers. By reviewing recent developments in the use of large-scale risk assessment for adaptation policy-making, we suggest a forward-looking research agenda to meet ongoing strategic policy requirements in local, national and international contexts. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Advances in risk assessment for climate change adaptation policy’.

Implementation Plans

<p>It is mandatory to establish a detailed implementation plan on measures for adaptation to climate change of local governments, based on the Article 48 of the Framework Act on Low Carbon, Green Growth and Article 38 of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act of South Korea. However, it is difficult for local governments to establish such detailed implementation plan due to high budget spending, lack of experts in climate change field and the shift in cyclical positions of government officials. The Korea Adaptation Center for Climate Change(KACCC) has developed a system for supporting local governments to overcome the difficulties. The system provides integrated data regarding climate change adaptation, such as general information, current status and prospect of climate change, climate change impact analysis, vulnerability and risk assessment to climate change using VESTAP (Vulnerability Assessment Tool to Build Climate Change Adaptation Plan) for each region. Based on the integrated information regarding adaptation to climate change, local governments conduct a survey targeting general public, civil servants, experts, etc. using the questionnaire on adaptive awareness provided by the system. Each local government can analyze the information and inventory of adaptation measures and diagnose the policies to establish detailed implementation plans for each sector. By establishing the system, it is expected to support government officials’s task through standardization and automation of detailed implementation plans and reduce budget and time required for data collection and analysis. It is possible to improve the quality and maintain the consistency of plans by local governments. The system also supports decision making by rapid and reasonable adaptation measures leading to establishing highly effective and managed implementation plans for local governments.</p><p>※ This work was supported by Korea Environment Industry & Technology Institute(KEITI) through Climate Change Correspondence Program, funded by Korea Ministry of Environment(MOE)(2018001310004).</p>

Program kampung iklim (Proklim) was launched by the Government to increase the implementation of the climate change adaptation strategy. The decision to adopt an adaptation strategy is influenced by farmers’ perceptions of climate change. This study aims to determine the level and compare the awareness of the climate change and perceptions of the climate change risks, among farmers from the Proklim and non-Proklim locations. The study was conducted in 3 sub-districts that have Proklim location, in Sleman Regency. By using the simple random sampling method, a total of 112 farmers were selected from the Proklim and non-Proklim locations in the same proportion. The results showed that the Proklim and non-Proklim locations were dominated by farmers with an awareness of climate change and perceptions of climate change risks at a moderate level. Other findings showed that farmers from the Proklim location had a higher awareness of climate change compared with non-Proklim farmers, with a difference of awareness of 6.44%. Perceptions of climate change risk among farmers from the two locations didn’t show significant differences.

<p>ABSTRACT<br />Climate change in the Dieng Plateau area is characterized into five local climatic phenomenon: (1) extreme rainfalls, (2) drought in agriculture, (3) hurricans, (4) extreme temperature, and (5) the unpredictable season. Farmers adaptation strategy towards those adverse impacts is identified by occupation of agriculture land. This land occupation also determines access to capital and intensity level of climate change vulnerability. If a farmer household occupies larger lands, so the access to capital is also more and the intensity level of climate change vulnerability becomes lower. On the contrary, smaller lands occupied leaves farmer households with low access to capital and high climate change vulnerability.<br />Keywords: climate change, adaptation strategy, vulnerability, farmer household</p><p>ABSTRAK<br />Perubahan iklim di Dataran Tinggi Dieng ditandai oleh lima fenomena iklim lokal yaitu: (1) curah hujan yang semakin ekstrem, (2) kekeringan yang melanda pertanian, (3) angin ribut, (4) suhu ekstrem, dan (5) musim yang sulit diprediksi. Strategi adaptasi untuk menghadapi kondisi iklim tersebut dilakukan oleh rumah tangga petani berdasarkan tingkat penguasaannya terhadap lahan pertanian. Luas lahan pertanian yang dikuasai oleh rumah tangga menentukan akses terhadap modal dan intensitas tingkat kerentanan terhadap perubahan iklim. Semakin luas lahan yang dikuasai oleh rumah tangga petani maka nilai akses terhadap modal relatif lebih tinggi dan tingkat kerentanannya terhadap perubahan iklim semakin rendah. Sebaliknya, Semakin luas lahan yang dikuasai oleh rumah tangga petani maka nilai akses terhadap modal akan semakin rendah dan tingkat kerentanannya terhadap perubahan iklim semakin tinggi.<br />Kata kunci: perubahan iklim, strategi adaptasi, kerentanan, rumah tangga petani</p>

Studies have revealed that the Niger Delta region of Nigeria is only three meter above mean sea level and their coastline is dynamic in nature which renders hundreds of coastal communities exposed and vulnerable to climate change risk and hazards. The region is faced with seasonal flooding, increase in temperature, high precipitation, erosion, river salinization, ocean surges and siltation. In this paper, we reviewed over 80 publications on related subjects of social, economic and environmental drivers of climate change vulnerability in the Niger Delta and their recurring and predicted impacts. Lack of empirical baseline data on climate change, inadequate enforcement of environmental laws, insignificant state fiscal budget on climate change, lack of political will and low interest of political leadership, absence of state policies aimed to enhance climate change adaptation and mitigation, persistent cases of oil spills and gas flaring by multinational oil companies, low public awareness and inadequate technical capacity were identified and analyzed as multidimensional factors militating against local effort for climate change adaptation and mitigation in the Niger Delta region. The state governments, multinational oil companies, intervention agencies, research institutions and critical community stakeholders especially in coastal areas in the Niger Delta should work together to achieve a systematic integrated plan for long term risk prevention and impact reduction through adaptation and mitigation approaches. Furthermore, strategic local solutions should include the assessment of impacts of climate change on social, environmental, and economic sector at the state, local government and community level. This should be accompanied with smart green policy measures and implementation of elaborate regional climate change education programs, development of skill sets for green entrepreneurship among youths and established framework of sustainable economic development in the region.
