Saigon Set to Bear Brunt of Climate Change impacts
Major flooding could cost billions of dollars in infrastructure damage, hurting the economy. The hardest hit are likely to be urban poor populations, says the report titled, “Climate Risks and Adaptation in Asian Coastal Megacities.”
The report was released last week at the Asia Pacific Climate Change Adaptation Forum in Bangkok after two years of study commissioned by the Asian Development Bank, the Japan International Cooperation Agency and the World Bank.
It examines the impact of climate change on Bangkok, Saigon and Manila, under a range of scenarios until 2050, concluding that the three cities need to take “targeted, city-specific and cutting edge approaches to meet these challenges.”
The cities have populations close to or more than 10 million, and are economic centers of their countries and the region.
