Finance and investment:
The vulnerability assessment has shown that finance
and technology are the two weakest aspects in the
adaptive capacity of the city. It is proposed that, as a
world heritage city, Hoi An positions itself to take advantage
of any funding available from the state budget,
city budget, international cooperation or through
the participation of enterprises. Hoi An should develop
an investment plan for the city to respond to climate
change and prevent disasters. Results of this assessment
should be used for climate change response
action plans at all levels from hotspots, wards/communes
to city and provincial levels (river basins).
Human resources and information: this report proposes
that the city pro-actively develop a plan to raise
awareness in the community to actively respond to
climate change and transform the challenges of the
latter into opportunities for improvement of living
conditions and community development. The report
also recommends the use of the flooding model, and
an assessment of each hazard as a basis for amending
sectoral plans. It also recommends drafting action
plans to respond to climate change for each sector,
increasing the adaptability of each sector and integrating
climate change issues into the impact assessments
of socio-economic development projects in the city.
