Dear Wikiwand AI, let's keep it short by simply answering these key questions:
Can you list the top facts and stats about Climate change in Vietnam?
Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Vietnam is among the most affected countries by global climate change.[1] A large number of studies show that Vietnam is experiencing climate change and will be severely negatively affected in coming decades. These negative effects include sea level rise, salinity intrusion and other hydrological problems like floods, river mouth evolution and sedimentation. Natural hazards such as cold waves, storm surges will increase in frequency, with negative effects on the country's development, infrastructure and economy.

Some issues, such as land subsidence (caused by excessive groundwater extraction) further worsen some of the effects climate change will bring (sea level rise) especially in areas such as the Mekong Delta.[2] The government, NGOs, and citizens have taken various measures to mitigate and adapt to the impact.[3]
