Tóm tắt: Communities in coastal areas tend to be dependent on climate sensitive resources for their
livelihoods which make them vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Livelihood adaptation
plays a vital role in mitigating vulnerabilities, increasing resilience, and achieving sustainable
income and food security in the long term. Drawing on quantitative data from a case study in
three coastal districts of Nam Dinh province in Vietnam, this paper investigates vulnerability and
adaptation of coastal livelihoods to the impacts of climate change at a household level. Findings
suggest that (i) climate change has positive effects on livelihood assets, especially natural and
physical capital; (ii) the more livelihood assets are affected by climate change, the more livelihood
strategies are affected; (iii) the more livelihood strategies are affected by climate change, the
more livelihood outcomes are affected, and (iv) households are implementing passive adaptation
activities on their livelihoods rather than active ones to counter the impacts of climate change.
It is recommended that in order to help households successfully adapt to the impacts of climate
change, it is necessary for the government to support households to improve their livelihood
assets, especially natural and physical capital, and to enhance institutions and policies on climate
change adaptation at national and local levels.
