Mekong ARCC Climate Change Impact and Adaptation Study: Hotspot Identification
This presentation for the Mekong ARCC project was given by ICEM at the Interim Results Workshop in Hanoi – held from 31 October to 1 November 2012.The ICEM Mekong ARCC Climate Study team presented the hotspot identification to support the preliminary findings of the Mekong ARCC Climate Change Impact and Adaptation Study for the Lower Mekong Basin (LMB).
The presentation indicates that the objective of this study was to identify hot spots in the LMB, to provide a scientific evidence base to guide selection of pilot project sites. This in turn could provide focus for further impact and vulnerability assessments as part of the Mekong ARCC project. The study aimed to analyse the most threatened areas at three different levels; ecozones, provinces and catchments. The climate change threats addressed include shifts in regular climate, temperature, precipitation, and soil water availability.
