ABSTRACTThe first case of Covid-19 was reported in Hanoi on March 6, 2020. Since then, the number of cases has increased gradually leading to themeasures of social distancing and lockdown in Hanoi. This lowered the transportation and mobility of the local people and as the result, theemissions from vehicle exhaust were decreased significantly. In this study, we conducted in-situ observation to measure the changes of black
carbon (BC), tropospheric ozone (TO3) and particulate matter (PM2.5) in Hanoi from January 2019 to July 2021. The findings of this research
reveal that the concentration of BC and PM2.5 were significantly reduced during lockdowns and social distancing in Hanoi while the impacts
were not so clearly in other cities in coastal zones of Vietnam such as Hai Phong, Ha Long, Hue, Da Nang or Ho Chi Minh city. This result
implies the significant effect of emissions from vehicles in Hanoi and recommends counter-measures to reduce those emissions.

ABSTRACT
Tropospheric ozone is a significant air pollutant, which has harmful effects on human health and plant growth because of its strong oxidizing
effect. It is also a strong greenhouse gas, and thus has significant influence on the global warming as a short-lived climate pollutant (SLCP).
Biomass burning including forest fire is one of most significant sources of the tropospheric ozone, because it is produced via photochemical
reactions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from burning of fossil fuels and/or biomass.
In this study, we focus on the relationship of the tropospheric ozone increase and extensive forest fires in the equatorial Southeast Asia with the
El Niño-southern oscillation (ENSO) activity. The El Niño event occurs in association with weaker Walker circulation, and reduces rain
precipitation in the western equatorial Pacific and Southeast Asia regions, leading to the desiccation of forests there and promoting the outbreakof forest fires. Kita et al. (2000) showed that the localized increase of tropospheric ozone in the Southeast Asian region repeatedly occur during
the El Niño events.
Following to Kita et al. (2000), the localized increase of tropospheric ozone in the Southeast Asian region was evaluated from satellite totalozone data. Forest fire activity in this region was shown by fire counts derived from satellite infrared data in the global fire map from the Fire
Information for Resource Management System (FIRMS). Adopting the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) as an index of ENSO activity, we
compared the variations of the localized increases of the tropospheric ozone and the number of fires. From this comparison, we can see that
their increases especially over Sumatra and Borneo islands during the El Niño events. This result showed that measures to prevent forest fires are
significant especially during the El Niño events to reduce the tropospheric ozone.

ABSTRACT
Hanoi as well as other major cities in Vietnam is facing critical challenges in dealing with the increase of diverse waste because of changing
lifestyle, population growth, and economic development. Although various programs of waste separation at source and plastic waste reduction
have been deployed over the last decades, they have stopped at the level of the movements and have generally not been widely implemented. This
study aims to investigate the information relates to Hanoi people’s attitudes toward the consumption of single-use plastic products and assessmentof their level of willingness to reduce. The questionnaire survey was conducted in Hanoi about consumption, disposal habit, and their willingness
to reduce whether differentiated in gender and age. The study found that most of the respondents heard about the harmful of plastic wastes on theenvironment and consider the environmental issues are important to them. The factors of age, gender, education had impacts on the willingness to
reduce of residents. In spite of the fact that there is not much difference in the consumption of single-use plastic products in gender, women show
higher eagerness to cut down. Younger people group consume more disposable plastic products but are more willing to reduce and pay attention
to environmental issues than the group of older people. To implement solutions, enhancing public environmental education, especially at school
and the activities of the Women’s Union at different levels, improving the collection and recycling of plastics, and integration of several policies
is essential.

ABSTRACTThe most research on microbial fuel cell (MFC) that can generate electric power through wastewater treatment can be divided into experimental
and mathematical models’ development. The model development becomes complicated, because various knowledge on microbiology, physicalchemistry and electrical chemistry are required to appropriately simulate the MFC performance. In the existing model, Marcus et al. (2007)
proposed a biofilm anode model that can simulate the conversion of electric generation after substrate consumption by Exo-Electrogenic
Bacteria (EEB). Then it was difficult to reproduce the consumption of the acetate, the change of the current and the Coulomb Efficiency. In other
hand, a lot of researchers extended biofilm anode model by consider electrogenic and methanogenic microbial populations and hypothesizingthat the reduced and oxidized intracellular mediator for EEB. But most of studies were focus on MFCs’ daily change of organic matter removal
and maximum power under high substrate concentration conditions. Therefore, in this study, the target was conducted with the objective ofdeveloping a model of multi-species microorganisms considering the Non-Electrogenic Bacteria (NEB) to simulate the acetate consumed andelectric charge produced in hourly change. In order to improve the simulation results, we used the response experimental data of acetateconcentration and current density to calibrate the parameters of NEB into the biofilm anode model. By introducing NEB in the biofilm, theacetate consumption and subsequent current density in the biofilm anode model can be simulated. In contrast, qmaxC values increased to be
350% of the default value was improved the simulation results. This indicated that the calibrated parameter values were distinct from those of
methanogenic bacteria. In this study, we did not focus only on methanogenic bacteria as NEB but considered of the diversity of the NEB in
biofilm, and validity this.

ABSTRACT
Quang Nam, a province located in the middle of Vietnam, has suffered an increasing drought for many years, which threatens crop production.
Drought severity seems to be added in by land-use change from forest to horticultural land but the interactions among drought, land-use change,and soil biological properties remain elusive in this area. Therefore, the research aimed to evaluate the effect of land-use change and drought onsoil respiration and microbial biomass. Two hypotheses were proposed as i) Microbial respiration reduces with increasing drought severity but
depending on land use types; ii) Water stress (60% to 30% water holding capacity - WHC) induces reduction of microbial biomass which
remains no changes as soil moisture reduces from 30% to 10% WHC. Basal respiration (BR) decreased a half as soil moisture declined from
60% to 30% WHC and remained unchanged given the soil moisture decreased to 10% WHC. The dramatic decrease of BR demonstrated a shockof microbial community to altered environment condition. The similarity of BR between two soil types implied more important role of drought
impacts than land-use conversion. The decrease of soil moisture resulted in the reduction in nutrient diffusion that causes difficulties for
microorganisms to approach available nutrients in soil and negatively affecting microbial biomass synthesis. Higher microbial biomass nitrogen(MBN) in forest than pineapple might suggest that forest soil would be of advantage to sustain soil fertility and microbial activities than crop
land in resistance to drought impacts. Briefly, interdisciplinary approach is critical in assessment of climate change impacts on C and N cycles incorrespondence to land-use changes.

ABSTRACT
Vietnam is considered one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change. Impacts in recent years have been manifesting more and moreclearly and severely by more droughts, especially severe droughts, the number of annual heatwaves increased almost nationwide, extreme
rainfall decreased significantly in the Northeast region and increased sharply in the South Central Coast and Central Highlands. In Binh Thuan
Province, eratic climate changes are impacting strongly and seriously the lives of local people: thousands of people lack fresh water for dailyuse, and hundreds of coastal households are being eroded by the sea. Under the scope of this project, a set of statistic data was collected to assessclimate security in the coastal area of Phan Thiet City where is economic center and capital of Binh Thuan Province. Besides, a GIS tool
(ArcGIS Desktop 10.7.1, ESRI, Inc.) was also used to visualize the result of climate security index, and process remote sensing data to analyze
land use and land cover changes of the researched area. The results showed that 2 of 10 coastal communes in Phan Thiet City are in low climate
security levels (Duc Long and Mui Ne), where are exposure and socio-economic sensibility index are relatively high. At the end, somerecommendations are discussed and provided to respond to climate change impacts, focus on promoting sustainable development towards
improving regional competitive advantage in tourism, skill training for local people to increase adaptive capacity and building ecologicalresilience in manmade and natural systems.

ABSTRACT
Although aquaculture contributes significantly to production in coastal areas, it has been detrimentally affected by climate change. This study
selected study site as Nam Phu coastal commune, Tien Hai district, Thai Binh province, where rural resident’s main livelihood is aquaculture,
consisting of intensive shrimp farming and eco-shrimp farming. The objectives of this study are (i) to identify the impacts of climate change on
Nam Phu, (ii) to compare livelihood resilience of aquaculture activities, and (iii) to propose solutions to enhance resident’s livelihood and protect
environment at the same time. Based on similar research and self-proposing criteria, a set of indicators to assess resilience of aquaculture
livelihood and livelihood strategy selection was created. Four evaluation components with 24 indicators, including (i) Livelihood capitals, (ii)Self-organization, (iii) Capacity for learning, and (iv) Disaster management capacity, were systematized. For index estimation, 100
questionnaires for aquaculture households were collected and interpreted. The score of overall climate-resilient livelihood in aquaculture
households was estimated by Min-Max formula. Results show that: (i) Aquaculture households perceived that Nam Phu has been detrimentallyaffected by climate change and natural disasters, such as saline intrusion, typhoons and floods; (ii) The median climate-resilient score foraquaculture households was 0.49, which implied a medium-resilient level. Self-organization capacity got a less-resilient level, while the threeremaining components were scored as medium-resilient; (iii) The eco-shrimp farming households had an average climate resilient index of 0.49,
which was slightly higher than that of intensive farming model (0.44). To conclude, the research emphasized featured livelihood model of ecoshrimp farming, which brings sustainable income and mangrove ecosystems conservation. It also provided useful information for formulating
policies to meet the climate change including diversifying eco-livelihoods, improvement of eco-shrimp farming technology and policy support.
Keywords: climate-resilient livelihood, eco-shrimp farming.

ABSTRACT
Vietnam ranked 13th in the overall Climate Risk Index (2021), the country has experienced severe loss and damages caused by climate-induced
events, especially in the coastal area. Dong Rui is an island commune of Tien Yen district, Quang Ninh province, beneficial from rich natural
resources, notably the wetland resources. Unfortunately, Dong Rui has been facing unexpected and complicated change of climate conditions
recently. This research aims to investigate the sustainability of the wetland resources, and based on the assessment results, to propose solutions
for sustainable use of the resources in Dong Rui area. The research recommends a new concept of wetland sustainability and a set of indicatorsfor sustainability assessment following the DPSIR model. Field surveys and social surveys were implemented in the area to figure out thedriving force, pressure, state, impact, and societal response toward wetlands. The research results show that Dong Rui wetlands have an uppermedium level of sustainability (scored 0.624/1). However, Climate Change (CC) is putting more pressure on the resources both directly andindirectly. CC direct impacts, namely: increase of temperature, change of precipitation regime, and increased frequency of extreme weather
conditions, directly affect the ecosystem. Indirectly, CC negatively impacts livelihoods of local people, whereas the majority of Dong Rui's
people (67.1%) live on wetland-related activities. As a result, people are exploiting more resources from the wetlands for livelihood
improvement. In such a context, it is urgent to promote sustainable use of wetland resources in a way that ensures both human needs andecosystem conservation. The integration and synergy of institution and policy, science and technology, finance, capacity development andparticipation enhancement for stakeholders, and international collaboration is highly recommended.

ABSTRACTIn Pacific, low-lying, small coral reef islands such as Marshall Islands and Tuvalu are extremely vulnerable to climate changes including future
sea level rise. Research has indicated that, coral reef ecosystem is responsible for these islands formation and maintenance. However, in the
recent years, coral reef-dwelling organisms e.g., calcifying benthic foraminifera in the coral reef ecosystem are being threatened due to theglobal as well as local environmental changes. Additionally, local coastal water pollution in the coral reef islands has been crucial and therefore
reef-dwelling organisms are adversely affected by water pollution and decreasing. This will accelerate the onset of serious problems associateswith future sea level rise. Therefore, to implement mitigation measures of water pollution for the purpose of conservation and rehabilitation ofcoral reef ecosystem, effects of water pollution on reef-dwelling organisms should be investigated. Therefore, in this experiment, coral reefdwelling organisms calcifying benthic foraminifera Baculogypsina sphaerulata was exposed to untreated domestic wastewater (WW) with 2
dilution levels (1,000× and 10,000×) for 8 days. The photosynthetic activity related parameters such as (Y[II]), Fv/Fm and chlorophyll-a, andbiochemical activity related parameter such as lipid peroxidation (LPO) at cellular-level were examined. Results showed that both dilution of
WW stressor inhibited the photosynthetic activity and only 1,000× induced the LPO indicating B. sphaerulata photosynthetic activity and cell
damaged. A correlation between Y(II) and LPO indicated that 1,000× had a great effect on B. sphaerulata. These results highlight that current
coastal water pollution in coral reef islands due to WW causes negative influence on calcifying benthic foraminifera. Therefore, an urgent needfor the development and implementation of effective WW measures to aim at conservation and rehabilitation of coral reef ecosystem to copewith future sea level rise.

ABSTRACTAgriculture plays a crucial role in food security of Vietnam and the world with 15% contribution to GDP in 2020 (WB, 2021) and 12.5%
contribution of total global rice export in 2018, only after India and Thailand (GSO, 2019). However, Mekong Delta – Vietnam’s main “ricebasket” - has been seriously affected by natural hazards caused by climate change, including sea level rise, heat stress, and saline intrusion. This
paper compares rice-shrimp model – a transitional model to response to saline intrusion – with rice monoculture model in terms of economic
benefit, impact to environment, risk, and GHG emissions to recommend suitable solutions to increase agricultural resilience against saline
intrusion in this region.

ABSTRACTThe Vietnamese Mekong River Delta (VMRD) faces sea level rise (SLR) impact under climate change. To adapt to SLR, the Vietnamese
government has set up a project to strengthen the protection function of the dike system in this area. However, this project might fail theobjective while usually damaged by natural and human activities in the coastal area. In our research, by using the cost-benefit analysis, we
present the effectiveness of three protection options for VMRD: an earth dike and mangrove system, a concrete dike system, and a mixing
concrete dike and mangrove system to adapt to SLR in the different SSPs scenarios. Our results indicated that VMRD might face enormous
damage by permanent inundation by SLR in the 21st century without adaptation. At the end of the 21st century, without adaptation, ourestimation indicated that almost all VMRD might be below sea level. The economic loss of the inundation land use can reach up to 341.6 billion
US dollars per year (no discount rate). In the same vein, nearly 20 million people might be losing their living area in the highest scenarios. Boththree adaptation options have higher benefits than their cost. However, mixing concrete dike and mangrove systems might be a good solution forthis area to adapt to SLR which having the highest net present value.

flood hazards. The critical infrastructures were identified by classifying CIs based on the definition of US Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA), Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and the Philippine National Disaster Risk Reduction Management
Council (NDRRMC). The identified CIs sectors in the city were categorized into sub-sectors based on the categories created by CISA. The subsectors were then used to analyze the interdependencies of CIs in the city. The methodology of SYNEFIA(2016) was followed for the analysis
and establishment of interdependency between the identified CIs.
The analysis of interdependency showed that the electric sector and communication sector is highly influential to the city’s CI system. The
commercial, healthcare, and evacuation centers were found to be the least sectors to exhibit synergistic disruption effect to other CIs. The result
further showed that a CI system that works and function independently is highly sustainable.
Further, three (3) flood hazard maps were utilized in the study to assess the vulnerability of the CIs. These flood hazard maps have 5-year, 25year, and 100-year return periods. On the aftermath of Typhoon “Vamco” in November 12-13, 2020, an ocular survey was conducted to assess
the structural exposure to flood. The vulnerability assessment found out that the strategic placement of regional centers in an area with a low
flood hazard is the best policy decision made by the government.
The relationship of the vulnerability to flooding and disruption synergistic effect reveals that the electricity sector percentage is not vulnerable toflooding, while the communication sector, on the other hand, is only vulnerable during the 100-year flood.

ABSTRACT
Bioenergy plays an important role in low greenhouse gas stabilization scenarios. Among various possible sources of bioenergy, dedicated biocrops could contribute to most of the potential. However, large scale bio-crop deployment raises sustainability concerns. Policies to alleviate thepressure of bio-crops on the terrestrial environment can affect bioenergy potential and production costs. Here, we estimated the maximum
bioenergy potential under environmental protection policies (biodiversity and soil protection) and societal transformation measures from demandand supply side (demand-side policy includes sustainable diet; supply-side policy includes advanced technology and trade openness for food) byusing an integrated assessment modelling framework, which consists of a general equilibrium model (Asian-Pacific Integrated
Model/Computable General Equilibrium) and a spatial land use allocation model (Asian-Pacific Integrated Model/Platform for Land-Use andEnvironmental Model). We found that the global advanced bioenergy potential under no policy was 245 EJ/year and that 192 EJ/year could be
produced under US$5/GJ. These figures were 149 EJ/year and 110 EJ/year, respectively, under a full environmental policy. Biodiversity
protection has a greater impact than soil protection due to its larger coverage and stronger implementation. Societal transformation measureseffectively increase them to 186 EJ/year and 143 EJ/year, respectively, even under full environmental policies. These results imply that thelarge-scale bioenergy deployment possibly needed for the climate target to limit the global mean temperature increase well below 2°C comparedto the preindustrial level might face a trade-off with environmental protection targets and that possible mitigation pathways in harmony withother environmental issues need to be explored.

ABSTRACTThe examination of climatic indicators to the interannual yield variability has been widely conducted in oil palm commodities. Yet not many
discussed how it will affect the yield of its specific landholding. Smallholder contribution to Indonesian oil palm total production is not negligible.
More than 40% of total oil palm holdings belong to the smallholder and so as the private/estates sector (53%). This study attempted to reveal towhat extent the climatic variables and climate mode might impact the yield across both typologies. Explorative and regression analysis of monthlyaveraged daily temperature and monthly-aggregated daily precipitation data from 1990 to 2018 as well as Equatorial Southern Oscillation Index
of Indonesia SLP (Sea Level Pressure) were processed to satisfy the quest. The retrospective climatic data were pre-processed to align with oilpalm inflorescence development stages that require 3 years span from its first leaf initiation to the ripening of the fruit bunch. It was suggested thatthe smallholder sector is vulnerable to climate anomalies. One level increase in the SOI index will result in on average 0.2 MT/ha decrease insmallholder yield per year. This is because the smallholder is much less climate-resilient in contrast to the private sector. Unless appropriate
climate-smart practice is implemented, the smallholder wellbeing might be exacerbated.

ABSTRACT
Climate change has various effects on various parts of the globe, with the majority of them impacting natural resources, particularly agriculture.
Bangladesh, which has the world's eighth-largest population, is experiencing enormous difficulties securing agricultural output, which has been
particularly harmed by the flash floods in the Haor region. The flash floods caused by the sudden flow of rainwater from the adjacent IndianHills of Assam and Meghalaya pose a high risk of damage to the standing winter Boro rice crop just 2 to 3 weeks before harvesting. In thisregard, an attempt was made to generate rice yield prediction models based on satellite remote sensing-based vegetation indices at the optimal
harvesting period possible before flash floods. Several empirical yield prediction models for rice were developed using five key vegetation
indices. Sentinel-2A images with a spatial resolution of 10 m were utilized for this study in Bangladesh's Haor (wetlands). In simple regression
models, the best-predicted results for the RGVI (ܴ ଶ = 0.44), NDVI (ܴ ଶ = 0.63), NDVI (ܴ ଶ = 0.55), and NDVI (ܴ ଶ = 0.67) were observedfor 2017, 2018, and 2019, as well as the average of seasons from 2017 to 2019. The best-performing vegetation indices for developing boro rice
yield prediction models using multiple regression were the composite NDVI-RGVI (ܴ ଶ = 0.65), NDVI-NDWI (ܴ ଶ = 0.56), and NDVI-MSI(ܴ ଶ =0.69) vegetation indices. However, utilizing a simple regression method (R2 = 0.84) and multiple regression analysis (R2 = 0.91) of theaverage NDVI-MSI composite index, NDVI showed better accuracy in the ANN-based machine-learning findings for the average boro riceseason (2017-2019). Therefore, early yield prediction models of boro rice can be helpful for farm risk management, insurance premium
assessments, and related stakeholder decision-making to minimize the impacts of severe flash flood occurrences.

ABSTRACT
Understanding the effects of climate change on potato production, which is vital for food and nutritional security, this research attempted toassess the influences of climate change on potato production in Bangladesh through the supply and demand model. The production of potato indifferent regions of Bangladesh is impacted differently by climate changes. To discern those effects, there is a need to assess the effects ofclimate variables on the potato yield, area and its variability in Bangladesh using district-level time series data grouped into seven climate zones.
To generate outlook on the variation of supply and market price of potato under climate change, yield, area, import, and demand functions weredeveloped. Temperatures above and below the optimal range (18–22 °C) resulted in lower yields, according to the findings. During the potato
maturity stage, low rainfall and low solar radiation make it difficult to grow potatoes. The production is expected to increase from 88 to 111
million metric tons (MT) and the equilibrium farm price is estimated to be 155 to 215 US dollars/MT for the simulation period. Due to thechanging diet pattern, the per capita consumption of potato is projected to increase 49 to 55 kg between 2014 and 2030. By the estimatedequilibrator, scenario analyses had implemented that combine the different dimensions of Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) and
Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP) scenarios which revealed that potato production and consumption can be boosted slowly in near future.
This study will be helpful for the policymakers to encourage farmers to produce new cultivars and shifting areas according to the changing
climate situation as well as fix the pricing policy for the sustenance of potato producers as well as a food supply to the consumer.

ABSTRACT
Brackish environments are strongly influenced by natural environmental changes such as salinity fluctuations during high tides. Additionally,
these environments are becoming a major concern regarding the potential impacts of climate change, that is due to an increase in sea watertemperature, salinity changes due to sea level rise, and an increase in food availability due to CO 2 emissions. For this reason, we investigated thebiomarker responses of a brackish water clam Corbicula japonica to natural and global warming conditions based on laboratory and field
experiments. For natural factors based on laboratory-scale experiments, we selected different food availability and salinity levels. Laboratoryscale experiments showed that oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) in C. japonica is strongly affected by food availability and salinity
levels. Field experiments proved that these natural influencing factors shouldn’t be neglected in ORAC assay for C. japonica whenanthropogenic impacts are assessed. Furthermore, we conducted a full factorial-design experiment to test different water-temperature levels(20 °C and 25 °C), salinity levels (5 and 20 psu), and food-availability levels (0.5 and 2.0 mg suspended solids (SS)·indí1·dí1) to investigate
biomarkers representing the physiological and biochemical responses of the brackish-water clam C. japonica. Increase in water temperaturesignificantly decreased superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities and ORAC, leading to lipid peroxidation (i.e., oxidative
damage). Salinity activated or inhibited these biochemical markers. Food availability supported a detoxification mechanism against oxidative
stress. Principal-components and cluster analyses revealed that a total of eight experimental conditions fell into three groups related to watertemperature and/or salinity. Integrative biomarker approaches suggested deleterious effect in the health of clam species due to the global
warming related factors. We conclude that future habitat changes driven by global warming can be a significant issue for the clams, because
local anthropogenic disturbances are further added to natural ones.

ABSTRACTPacific atolls are extremely vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Coral reef ecosystems, which are responsible for the island formation andmaintenance, can potentially keep pace with rising sea levels. Such ecosystems are sensitive to pollution; however, the sources and levels of atoll
pollutants caused by urbanization have rarely been investigated. In this study, we assessed the heavy metal pollution (Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd,
and Pb) of coastal sediments to evaluate the effects of urbanization on Majuro Atoll, the Marshall Islands. The densely populated area had themost significant pollution with high levels of Pb, Mn, Zn, and Cu due to road traffic activity. Domestic wastewater, a major pollution source inPacific atolls, was not identified. Remarkably, the Zn and Pb levels in the remote islanGDUHDZHUHíDQGíWLPHVKLJKHU
respectively, than in the natural area of Funafuti Atoll, Tuvalu. Thus, the remote island and sparsely populated areas were significantly polluted
because of the maritime traffic activity in the lagoon and debris accumulation in/around the lagoon. This pollution resulted from impropermunicipal solid waste management of the main island. The contamination factor, pollution load index, and geo-accumulation index indicatedhigh levels of heavy-metal pollution in these areas. Urbanization of the atoll clearly resulted in a distinct heavy-metal composition and highpollution levels compared with Funafuti Atoll. These findings emphasize the importance of pollution management in the conservation andrehabilitation of urbanized atolls threatened by future sea-level rises.

O1 - 8The Power of Dialogical Tools in Participatory Learning
KOTERA Akihiko
Ibaraki University, Japan

ABSTRACTA new tangible bit was designed to encourage mutual dialogue in the participatory learning activities. One of the factors that inhibit dialogue inthis activity is the means of communication of scientific knowledge and information. Various devices and tools, such as geographic information
maps and illustrations, have been used to convey information in an easy-to-understand manner. However, in many cases, the very tools that aresupposed to provide useful information unintentionally interfere with the dialogue with the participants because their expertise is not translated
well. By overlaying scientific information as needed and projecting it onto a 3D terrain screen, the new device allows users to intuitively grasp
not only topographical and hydrological information such as the slope and elevation of mountains and the direction of water flow, but also avariety of other content, unlike conventional paper maps. Furthermore, by touching and sliding your finger on the surface of the 3D screen, users
can sense the information intuitively. The tool has been used in the field of collaborative water resources management with community
participation in Indonesia. Although we have conducted similar learning using paper-based media in the past, the significant change that we
observed using this device was the atmosphere of the place, which clearly led to meaningful and prolonged dialogue. Even participants who do
not usually speak up began to participate actively in the dialogue. This was triggered by the moment when each participant, including scientists,
felt that they could intuitively understand the information (i.e., happy), and at the same time, were convinced that we were sharing the same
feeling (i.e., fun). The fun was in the serious dialogue among us, and we believe that the same feeling was conveyed and shared by theparticipants. This is the power of dialogical tools.

ABSTRACTThe increasing damage caused by natural disasters, particularly climatic disasters such as typhoons, floods, droughts, and heatwaves, threatens
the development of all sectors in Vietnam. In particular, the impact of natural disasters on the education sector affects thousands of students andteachers through education interruption and reduced educational quality. At the same time, education is increasingly being viewed as being moreessential for mitigating risk and for strengthening people's capacity to respond to disasters. Since the beginning of the 2010s, numerous
education projects on climate change response and disaster risk reduction have been conducted throughout Vietnam. Most of these projects
promote two main initiatives; making schools safer, and mainstreaming climate change and disaster risk reduction into the school curriculum.
Before the National Action Plan on disaster risk reduction was adopted by the education sector, disaster risk reduction education (DRRE)
initiatives were were mainly implemented by NGOs and other organizations outside the government. The DRRE topics focused mainly on
climate change education, disaster risk reduction, and a combination of both themes. This study reviews the DRRE initiatives over one decade of
implementation (2010–2020). The findings draw upon the lessons learned from DRRE by various stakeholders, including government and nongovernmental organizations.

ABSTRACT
Integrating climate change and disaster response education into teaching is considered one of the important tasks of the education program
promulgated in 2018 in Vietnam. Every year, Vietnam suffers many bad impacts from natural disasters caused by tropical monsoon climate suchas storms and floods. Therefore, the Government of Vietnam upholds the importance of integrating climate change and disaster response
education into education curricula and ensuring school safety. In order for education to take place effectively, pedagogical students, who are thefuture teachers who will teach the program, need to practice and hone in on relevant knowledge and skills. The article presents the theoreticaland practical foundations of integrating climate change education and disaster response in teaching students majoring in pedagogy and proposes
policies for the education sector to towards school safety goals.

ABSTRACT
Effect of climate change on health has become the biggest global health challenge of the 21st century. An estimation of 94% of diarrheal disease,
42% of lower respiratory infections, 44% of unintentional injuries are attributable to environmental factors such as unsafe drinking-water, poor
sanitation and hygiene, indoor and outdoor air pollution. There are about 38 000 additional deaths in elderly people due to heat exposure and 95
000 additional deaths due to childhood undernutrition per year between 2030 and 2050 according to WHO estimation. There is a need toenhance resilience of each region to cope with climate change and prepare health care workers to address the health impacts of climate change.
Thus climate change related topics have been embedded in the medical training programs in many countries. This research firstly reviews how
climate change is integrated into medical syllabi worldwide then it proposes strategy to boost climate change education in medical education in
Vietnam.

ABSTRACT
Climate change education does not exist as an independent field but rather as an integrated component of environmental education andsustainable development education. In Vietnam, the introduction of environmental education in the national education system has been
determined as one of the main targets by the Central Executive Committee since 1998. Climate change is the challenge of all humanity. Vietnam
is considered to be the 10 most affected countries of climate change. However, the subject on climate change does not exist in the national
curriculum in the general education system in Vietnam. Therefore, the content of climate change needs to be integrated into the teaching andlearning activities at all levels. Biology is a potential subjects with many advantages for the intergration climate change education in the highschool program. Thiss article presents three basic contents of integration of climate change education at high schools: (i) Objectives of climatechange education for Biology subjects in high school; (ii) Principles of climate change education in teaching high school students; and (iii)
Establishments and requirements in choosing integrated teaching methods.

ABSTRACT
Non-traditional security related to climate change includes climate security, food security, water security, energy security, social security,
poverty reduction, gender equality, and public health protection in the context of climate change. Faced with challenges of climate change, nontraditional security in general and security related to climate change in particular are increasingly important for traditional security, political,
economic, and social stability, sustainable development, prosperity, and safety of the nation. It is necessary to synchronously apply solutions tomaintain and develop non-traditional security related to climate change for sustainable development and safety in Vietnam: (i) Integrating
synchronous non-traditional security - environmental protection - climate change response - sustainable development; (ii) Raising awareness ofthe nature, trends, impacts and responsibilities of stakeholders in implementing solutions to prevent non-traditional security threats; (iii)
Proactively and actively preventing and responding to non-traditional security threats related to climate change; (iv) Strengthening andenhancing the effectiveness of international cooperation on the prevention, control, and response to non-traditional security threats; (v)Mobilizing and efficiently using of diversified financial resources; (vi) Promoting scientific research, developing technologies, and transferringknowledge on non-traditional security, environmental protection, and climate change response for sustainable development and safety; (vii)

ABSTRACTThe typhoons that hit Japan annually may be getting more severe due to climate change, potentially resulting in unexpected damage. For
example, Typhoon No. 19 (Hagibis) traversed eastern Japan in October, 2019 and caused enormous damage over a wide area, including in
Ibaraki Prefecture, where Ibaraki University is located. The typhoon was reported to be a category 5 super typhoon, and despite repeated alerts
calling for serious caution in advance and countermeasures to be taken in various places, 105 people were killed and 3 people were reported
missing. In order to deal with similar situations in the future, it is necessary to create areas that are more resistant to the effects of disasters and to
improve local resilience. For these purposes, a top-down approach mainly related to the “hardware”, or physical infrastructure, such as themaintenance of embankments is clearly necessary. At the same time, a bottom-up approach centered on the “software”, or the communities inwhich the inhabitants are the main characters, is also required. In this study, we developed an action research approach to promoting"environmental co-creation and community development through dialogue", which benefits the residents of communities not only during natural
disasters but also in their everyday lives. This is an ongoing polyphonic project, wherein photographs of the local environment and narratives of
the residents are plotted on a local map, thus generating a “bottom-up” map of the area. Interactive workshops can also be developed using thisgenerated map. As a result, the ways in which local people view and understand the local environment may change. The main areas of the map
are Mito City, which the Naka River flows through, and Daigo Town, which the Kuji River flows through, both in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan.
This study demonstrates a new form of community-based climate change adaptation.

ABSTRACT
Vietnam is a country with a long coastline and high population density living in the coastal plains. Climate change and sea level rise have had
harmful effects on the lives of people in these regions. The coastal plain of Ninh Thuan - Binh Thuan is the largest dry area in Vietnam andalways lacks water in the first months of the year (Jan., Feb., Mar., and Apr.). Groundwater is an extremely valuable resource for supplies at thistime. Therefore, the objective of this study is to assess the impact of climate change and sea level rise on seawater intrusion in coastal
groundwater systems in this region. Scenarios of climate change and sea level rise are extracted from Scenarios of climate change and sea level
rise for Vietnam of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment launched in 2016. Groundwater model for a 2-layer aquifer system withvariable density flow SEAWAT is built for predicting impacts of climate change and sea level rise on the study area. According to RCP 4.5
scenario, predicted results of fresh and salt groundwater distribution over time showed that up to the year 2100, the area of groundwater with
TDS>1g/L decreased in Ninh Thuan plain are 3.50 km2 and 4.70 km2 in Holocene and Pleistocene aquifers, respectively whereas in Binh Thuanplain are 8.93 km2 and 11.65 km2 in Holocene and Pleistocene aquifers, respectively as well. According to the RCP 8.5 scenario, the fresh andsalt groundwater distribution does not change much compared to the RCP 4.5 scenario.
