Viet Nam’s Mekong Delta (VMD) is the third largest delta on Earth, and is currently home to 17 million inhabitants, whose livelihoods depend mainly on agricultural and aquacultural production. The VMD, with its extremely low-lying delta plain (average elevation of ~80 cm), is particularly vulnerable to even small changes in relative sea level rise, but also to other climate change impacts, such as increased frequency of intense dry seasons and droughts.

Studies have shown that an estimated 50-75% of Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Jigawa, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Sokoto, Zamfara, and Yobe states are affected by rapidly rising desertification (Azare, 2020). The same study also highlights that Nigeria is losing over 350,000 hectares of arable land yearly because of climate change-induced desertification.

A flurry of recent disasters in Malaysia has prompted increased concern over the impacts of extreme temperatures, strong winds and air pollution. These events have also revealed poor coordination and weak forecasting capacity for the prediction of floods and landslides, which has become increasingly important for major cities faced with the effects of climate change.

Nepal is highly vulnerable to climate impacts, especially in the water sector where resources have been significantly depleted. One of the most susceptible districts is Ramechap, located above the Sunkoshi River, where the land is extremely dry and decreasing precipitation is severely impacting farmers. Water resources are especially vulnerable at high elevations where they are more sensitive to variability in rainfall patterns and timing, which contribute to increased drought frequency.

Georgia is a rich forested country (approximately 40% of the area). A massive wildfire was raging in Borjomi - Kharagauli National Park in the summer of 2017. It lasted over a month. The protected territory of Borjomi - Kharagauli is in a central part of the Caucasian throat and includes the eastern part of the Lesser Caucasus mountains. The uncontrolled fires can put such ecological values in danger due to the increased number of visitors.

Cambodia is one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change and has difficulties in implementing the country’s climate change response due to a lack of available quality-assured information and knowledge on climate change in the country. Significant gaps still remain in creating the conditions for science-based climate-informed decision making, in particular related to the production, access and use of climate information at local levels.
