Subject: [Ngo Climate Change] A new book on Climate Change and
CoastalLivelihoods<br>
<br>
<br>
Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
A book on "Climate Change and Coastal Livelihoods" (in Vietnamese),
by Prof.<br>
Tran Tho Dat and Vu Thi Hoai Thu, was recently published by VDF (Vietnam<br>
Development Forum). The book covers issues related to global climate change,<br>
its impacts on coastal areas, vulnerability of coastal livelihoods, capacity<br>
of households to cope with and adapt to changes in their livelihoods<br>
associated with climate change, and government policies to support household<br>
adaptive capacity. These issues are presented from theory to practice,<br>
including international experiences and Vietnam's case studies as well. For<br>
a free hardcopy, please contact VDF (<a href="http://www.vdf.org.vn/" target="_blank">www.vdf.org.vn</a>)<br>
<br></span><span lang="PT-BR" style="font-family:Arial"><br>
</span><span style="font-family:Arial">Regards,<br>
<br>
