Abstract

The study used the Livelihood Vulnerability Index (LVI) as a method to assess the vulnerability of household livelihoods to the impacts of climate change. Based on the average value of the main components in LVI to give the LVI-IPPC index with the presence of 3 factors: exposure, sensitivity and adaptive. The results show that the exposure and sensitivity to the impacts of climate change in the locality are relatively high, reaching values of 0.310 and 0.292, respectively. The study also shows that the adaptive capacity of 0.417 means that the current adaptive capacity of the community to the impacts of climate change is relatively good. The final analysis results show that the LIV-IPCC index of Dinh Hoa district has a value of -0.020, in which upland communes are more vulnerable than lowland communes with LIV-IPCC values of -0.015 and - 0.023.
