“…Poortinga et al (2019) further affirm the significance of political aspects in acknowledging European families' viewpoints of climate variations. In Vietnam, as being one of the world's largest agricultural countries, awareness of climate change has been extensively explored recently, focusing on the two areas of the Mekong River Delta and the northern mountainous area (Hak et al, 2016;Ngo et al, 2019;Furu and Van, 2013).…”

“…How to raise awareness of farmers about climate change is also a vital topic in the literature. Farmers may be aware of changes to their health, but then they fail to associate those changes with the variations of climate (Furu and Van, 2013). The low level of awareness among people, especially people of rural households, is probably the biggest constraint in improving sustainability awareness in Vietnam.…”

This paper explores the maintenance of livelihoods under climate, environmental, and economic development pressures, through the case of Thang Binh District in Quang Nam Province, Vietnam. Within widespread recognition of the need to link sustainable livelihoods approaches with climate change adaptation, there is growing awareness of the importance of people-centered approaches which keep the diverse experience, capabilities, and knowledges of the most vulnerable at the heart of sustainable livelihoods thinking. In response, this paper explores the conditions for changes in modes of livelihoods in a case study area where top-down strategies for sustainable livelihoods are met with residents’ diverse experiences of vulnerability, and where climate and environmental changes shape residents’ relations with the landscape. The research is undertaken via interviews with residents, farmers/fishers, and local government officials. Our study finds that whilst government-led initiatives for sustainable livelihoods are welcomed in the locality, inflexible policies can make it challenging for the most vulnerable people to access support. Moreover, residents see the capacity to live with and respond to extreme weather events as a critical component of maintaining a sustainable livelihood. Our findings reinforce international literature, showing that ‘the poor’ are not a homogenous category, and illustrate the importance of attention to the smallest levels of government who are tasked with putting sustainable livelihoods initiatives into practice in relation to people’s daily lives.
