The way in which possible climate impacts interact with a range of other challenges in agriculture, forestry, disaster planning, health care, general economic development, and common livelihoods are presented, and it is argued that greater realism and broader vision are needed in order to address the climate challenge. For instance, unsuitable land- use changes in both coastal and highland regions may increase the vulnerability of rural people, many of whom are already living on the fringes. The author(s) also state(s) that, depending on context, it may be pertinent to address short-term and unsustainable resource use, irregularities in local land management, ineffective governance and social inequality, which are all likely to aggravate the impact of external climate and weather. Not least, it is imperative to integrate general environmental management with any climate-change adaptation effort. 410 0$aEnvironmental science and engineering (Springer (Firm)).$pEnvironmental engineering. 606 $aClimatic changes$xEnvironmental aspects$zVietnam 606 $aEnvironmental engineering$zVietnam 615 0$aClimatic changes$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aEnvironmental engineering 676 $a363.738 701 $aBruun$b Ole$f1953-$0476609 701 $aCasse$b Thorkil$01750012 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437942703321 996 $aOn the frontiers of climate and environmental change$94184516 997 $aUNINA
