This article researches the changes in climate in Vietnam and its socio-economics damages, based on data from Vietnam General Statistics Offices and recorded data from Vietnam Disaster Management Authority through the last two decades. The results showed that, In Vietnam, the rainfall, the sunshine, the air temperature varies greatly over the years and tends to increase in recent years while the average air humidity has a slow downward trend. The highest and lowest water levels measured at the monitoring stations on the two largest rivers of Vietnam showed a large variation, with a significant decrease in the flowing water level. Contrary to the declining trend of river water level, the mean sea-level tends to increase slightly over the years. Change in climate is causing many negative impacts on this region such as droughts, landslides, erosion, storms, floods, etc. The economic losses caused by natural disasters in Vietnam in recent years showed a quite clear increasing trend and greatly and negatively affect the development of the country's economic sectors. Among the sectors damaged by natural disasters, agriculture suffered the most, and the level of damage tended to increase over the years. Besides, natural disasters have caused many social losses in Vietnam, including human death, missing, and injured people; education, health, transportation damage and impact on other aspects of life. |
