ACTIVITY SUMMARY: Climate Smart Livelihoods to Support Sustainable Forest Management

Over the past years, changing climatic conditions and overexploitation of forest resources are putting stress on the livelihoods of forest-dependent communities throughout Vietnam. The USAID-funded Vietnam Forests and Deltas Program is working with ethnic minority communes in the upland forests of Nghe An and Thanh Hoa provinces to design and implement climate smart livelihood models tailored to the specific local conditions.
