A new scenario framework for climate change research: the concept of shared socioeconomic pathways
Abstract
The new scenario framework for climate change research envisions combining pathways of future radiative forcing and their associated climate changes with alternative pathways of socioeconomic development in order to carry out research on climate change impacts, adaptation, and mitigation. Here we propose a conceptual framework for how to define and develop a set of Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) for use within the scenario framework.

How environmental pollution is ruining the Mekong Delta
Last update 16:59 | 23/09/2017
The Mekong Delta is a land carpeted in endless shades of greens, a magical water world that is being destroyed by climate change and environmental pollution, says the Vietnam Environment Administration.
Some 20 million people call the Mekong Delta home, and 60 million are dependent on the natural environment of river system for their livelihoods, says the Environment Administration. Tiếp tục đọc “How environmental pollution is ruining the Mekong Delta”

Vinh Long declares state of natural disasters
Last update 16:06 | 05/09/2017
The People’s Committee of the Mekong Delta province of Vinh Long on Monday declared state of natural disasters level 1 (the lowest level) due to land erosion.
Landslide on the Hau river bank has caused houses to collapse.
Earlier, on the night of August 22 and early morning of August 23, as many as 34 households along the riverbank of Vinh River in Thanh Phuoc Ward, Binh Minh Town, were affected by land erosion. The erosion encroached upon nearly 20m of the mainland and covered a length of some 200m. Tiếp tục đọc “Vinh Long declares state of natural disasters”
Will HCM City build dykes similar to those used in the Netherlands?
Last update 08:10 | 31/08/2017
VietNamNet Bridge – With increased land subsidence, HCM City needs to build dykes like the ones used in the Netherlands to prevent tides and floods, experts have urged.
HCM City Mayor Nguyen Thien Nhan said MONRE has surveyed the soil and terrain conditions at 17 points in HCMC. The monitoring shows continued subsidence at all points. Subsidence of up to 30 cm in the last 10 years has been found in two places.
“If the soil sinks by 1 cm per annum and the sea water level rises by 0.5 cm per annum, or 1.5 cm in total, the difference between the earth surface and sea water level would be up to 45 cm. If so, the problem will be very serious,” Nhan said. Tiếp tục đọc “Will HCM City build dykes similar to those used in the Netherlands?”
7 Reasons We’re Facing a Global Water Crisis
Leah Schleifer –
Droughts in Somalia. Water rationing in Rome. Flooding in Jakarta and Harvey-battered Houston. It doesn’t take a hydrologist to realize that there is a growing global water crisis. Each August, water experts, industry innovators, and researchers gather in Stockholm for World Water Week to tackle the planet’s most pressing water issues.

CẦN THƠ — Agricultural biotechnology is one of the key tools that can improve the yield and quality of agricultural products in a time of climate change, experts said.
The experts were attending an APEC High-Level Policy Dialogue on Agricultural Biotechnology (HLPDAB) workshop in Cần Thơ on August 18-19.
Nguyễn Thị Thanh Thủy, chair of the HLPDAB, and director general of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development’s Department of Science, Technology and Environment, said that Việt Nam, like many other economies, was facing multiple challenges due to climate change, including shrinking agricultural area and land degradation caused by urbanisation and saline intrusion caused by rising sea levels.

Khuyến khích phát triển vật liệu xây không nung
Thứ Hai, 24/7/2017 08:07
Trong bối cảnh thích ứng với biến đổi khí hậu, việc tăng cường sử dụng vật liệu xây dựng không nung (VLXDKN) không những góp phần bảo vệ tài nguyên đất, mà còn có tầm quan trọng đặc biệt trong việc bảo vệ môi trường, giảm phát thải khí CO2.

Mặc dù vậy, từ năm 2010, Thủ tướng Chính phủ ban hành Quyết định 567/2010 phê duyệt Chương trình phát triển VLXD đến năm 2020 (gọi tắt Chương trình 567) về định hướng sản xuất và sử dụng VLXDKN thay thế gạch đất sét nung, nhưng đến nay việc thực hiện chương trình này vẫn còn rất nhiều mặt hạn chế.

Climate change is disrupting the birds and the bees
BBC_Our changing climate seems set to disrupt just about everything. From rising sea levels to ocean acidification, the list of negative consequences from climate change is endless. But one area that often goes unmentioned in the climate change discussion is sex.
Over the last two decades, scientists have found that warmer temperatures are quietly spoiling the mood, making it harder for plants and animals to reproduce.
Here are five ways that climate change is ruining sex lives.
It’s a numbers game
While humans and many other animals determine sex genetically, many reptiles and some fish use the incubation temperature of the eggs to set the gender of their offspring. This means that changing global temperatures could alter the ratio of sexes produced, making it harder for these animals to find mates.

Land subsidence, rising seas threaten Mekong Delta
Last update 16:34 | 03/08/2017
VietNamNet Bridge – The sustainable development of the Cuu Long (Mekong) Delta faces many threats, especially the rising sea level, worsening land subsidence and declining sedimentation, Dr Le Xuan Thuyen of the University of Natural Sciences has warned.

Speaking at a seminar last Thursday in HCM City titled “Challenges for sustainable development of the Mekong Delta,” Thuyen said: “The delta is formed by sediments and fairly steady sea levels. Now the two elements are no longer present and so the delta is facing an uncertain future.” Tiếp tục đọc “Land subsidence, rising seas threaten Mekong Delta”
