It is based on the experiences of three cities in Vietnam, Can Tho, Dong Hoi, and Hanoi, that worked with international and local experts under World Bank supervision to develop local resilience action plans (LRAPs) in 2009-10. An LRAP is a detailed planning document that reflects local concerns and priorities based on the experiences of the past and projections for the future. It is not a wish list of projects that may never be completed because they are too costly or lack political support. Rather, it should be a realistic document that describes and establishes priorities for specific steps that can be undertaken in the near term to adapt to both climate related and other hazards. Regardless of their size, location, political orientation, or technical capacity, other cities can learn from the experiences of these pilot cities to develop their own LRAPs. The purpose of this workbook is to adapt the initial experiences of Can Tho, Dong Hoi, and Hanoi to benefit the national government and other communities in Vietnam and beyond. Indeed, the process described in this workbook was later adopted in the cities of Iloilo, the Philippines; Ningbo, China; and Yogyakarta, Indonesia, and the concluding chapter of this workbook draws on some of the lessons learned in these cities. However, the workbook, while generalizable to other contexts, largely reflects the Vietnamese experience.CC BY 3.0 IGOADAPTATIONADAPTATION ACTIVITIESADAPTATION APPROACHADAPTATION CONSIDERATIONSADAPTATION MEASUREADAPTATION OPTIONSADAPTATION POLICIESADAPTATION PRIORITIESADAPTATION PROJECTSADAPTATION TO CLIMATEADAPTATION TO CLIMATE CHANGEADAPTINGADAPTIVE CAPACITYAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAIRAIR TEMPERATUREALTITUDEATMOSPHEREBANKSBUILDING CODESCAPACITY BUILDINGCAPACITY STRENGTHENINGCARBONCARBON DIOXIDECARBON FINANCECATASTROPHIC EVENTSCENTRE FOR RESEARCH ON THE EPIDEMIOLOGYCLIMATECLIMATE ADAPTATIONCLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATIONCLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION MEASURESCLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION PROGRAMCLIMATE CHANGE CONSEQUENCESCLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTSCLIMATE CHANGE MEASURESCLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATIONCLIMATE CHANGE RESPONSESCLIMATE CHANGE SCENARIOSCLIMATE CHANGESCLIMATE EXTREMESCLIMATE FACTORSCLIMATE FORECASTSCLIMATE HAZARDSCLIMATE IMPACTSCLIMATE MITIGATIONCLIMATE PROJECTIONSCLIMATE REFUGEESCLIMATE RESILIENCECLIMATE RISKSCLIMATESCLIMATIC STIMULICOCOLORSCONSEQUENCES OF CLIMATE CHANGECONTINGENCY PLANNINGCREDCYCLONESDAMAGESDEFORESTATIONDEVASTATIONDISASTERDISASTER ASSISTANCEDISASTER EMERGENCYDISASTER EMERGENCY RESPONSEDISASTER IMPACTSDISASTER MANAGEMENTDISASTER PREPAREDNESSDISASTER PREVENTIONDISASTER REDUCTIONDISASTER RESPONSEDISASTER RESPONSE SYSTEMDISASTER RISKDISASTER RISK MANAGEMENTDISASTER RISK REDUCTIONDISASTER RISKSDISASTERSDOCUMENTSDROUGHTDROUGHT PERIODSDROUGHTSEARLY WARNINGEARLY WARNING SYSTEMSEARTHQUAKEEARTHQUAKESECOLOGICAL ZONESELECTRICITYEMISSIONSEPIDEMIOLOGY OF DISASTERSEVACUATIONEXCESS RAINFALLEXTREME EVENTSEXTREME TEMPERATURESEXTREME WEATHERFAULT LINESFINANCIAL CAPACITYFIREFLOODFLOOD CONTROLFLOOD HAZARDFLOODINGFLOODSFOOD SECURITYFOREIGN AFFAIRSFORESTSFOSSIL FUELSFROSTFUTURE CLIMATE CHANGEGHGGLOBAL AIR TEMPERATUREGLOBAL CLIMATEGLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGEGLOBAL EMISSIONSGLOBAL FACILITY FOR DISASTER REDUCTIONGLOBAL GREENHOUSE GASGLOBAL TEMPERATURESGLOBAL WARMINGGREENHOUSEGREENHOUSE EFFECTGREENHOUSE GASGREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONSGREENHOUSE GASESHAILHEATHEAT WAVESHEAVY RAINFALLHEAVY RAINSHYDROLOGYICEICE CAPSICE SHEETSIMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGEINFORMATION SYSTEMINTERGOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGEIPCCLAND USELANDSLIDELANDSLIDESLIGHTINGLOCAL IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGELOW-CARBONMETEOROLOGYMETHANEMITIGATION OF CLIMATE CHANGEMONSOONSMOUNTAIN GLACIERSNATURAL DISASTERNATURAL DISASTER MITIGATIONNATURAL DISASTER RISK MANAGEMENTNATURAL DISASTERSNATURAL HAZARDSNONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONNONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONSOCCURRENCE OF DISASTERSPRECIPITATIONRAINFALL PATTERNSRECONSTRUCTIONREDUCING POVERTYRISK ASSESSMENTSAFETYSAVINGSSEA LEVEL RISESEA LEVEL RISE SCENARIOSSEA WALLSSEARCH AND RESCUESEASONSEAWATERSLUMSOCIAL AFFAIRSSTORMSTORM SURGESTORM SURGESTECTONIC PLATESTEMPERATURETEMPERATURE CONTROLTEMPERATURE INCREASESTHUNDERSTORMSTORNADOSTROPICAL STORMSTROPICSTSUNAMITSUNAMISTYPHOONTYPHOONSUPPER ATMOSPHEREURBAN FORESTRYVOLCANIC ERUPTIONSVOLCANOVOLCANOESWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-8878-5
