The Second Consultation Workshop on the Draft Book “Climate Change Adaptive Livelihoods: Criteria and Good Practices”

The book “Climate Change Adaptive Livelihood Models: Criteria and Good Practices” is one of the most important products in the cooperation program “Research and evaluation of climate change adaptation models by NGOs’ support in Vietnam during the period 2009-2014” between the Department of Meteorology, Hydrology and Climate Change (DMHCC), Vietnamese NGOs and climate change network (VNGO&CC) and Climate Change Working Group (CCWG). This book is compiled based on the information and data from the reports of the model development unit, and the field trips of experts to gather more information on these models. So far, the first draft of the book has been finished by the compilation group.

The participants of the workshop were representatives of governmental authorities, non-governmental organizations and media

After holding the first consultation workshop in August 2015, on December 25^th 2015 the DMHCC collaborated with the VNGO&CC network and the CCWG to organize the second consultation workshop on the draft book “Climate Change Adaptive Livelihoods: Criteria and Good Practices”.

Through this workshop, the comments from organizations and individuals would be considered, in order to complete the book. It is expected that the book would be widely shared soon.
