Ho Chi Minh City adapts to worsening flood threats
Original: Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh City is learning to live with floods but climate change has raised the stakes
Ho Chi Minh City is working to coexist with routine flooding as rising seas and heavier rains intensify the challenge. Vietnam's largest city has long battled waterlogged streets, but climate change has raised the stakes, pushing residents and officials toward adaptation strategies such as elevated infrastructure and living with water rather than fighting it.
Why now: Flooding linked to climate change is worsening in one of the world's most vulnerable major cities.
