Abstract
This report provides a synthesis of key
findings of sector studies undertaken in Vietnam in the
context of the EACC study. The sector studies were on
agriculture (Zhu & Guo 2010), a separate computable
general equilibrium [CGE] analysisbased on
agriculture findings (Adams et al. 2010), aquaculture (Kam
et al. 2010), forestry (Phuong). At the global level, the
EACC study estimates that it will costbetween $70
and $100 billion each year to adapt to climate change over
the period 2010 to 2050. The study was funded by the
governments of the UnitedKingdom, Netherlands, and
Switzerland. Further details may be found at:
