Abstract

In 2021, the upgraded scenarios of climate change using Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 6 global climate models are released by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. This information is a very important data source for scientists to continuously upgrade their studies in the behaviors of a natural system as extreme climate events are frequently observed. In the context of fast urban expansion, tourism development with a huge reservoir of NuiCoc, construction of industrial parks in Thainguyen, a province in northeast Vietnam could lead to unexpected vulnerability in natural resources and environment. Therefore, the study is to evaluate the climate change-related vulnerability for natural resources and environment of Thainguyen province at the scale of districts and cities. The equal weight method of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in 2007 is used to evaluate the vulnerability level based on a set of hydrometeorological and socio-economic sources for Thainguyen. The results indicate that thirty percent of districts out of nine districts and cities have high vulnerability with the low resilience of system on climate variations and extreme climate events in near future.
