A rapid vulnerability assessment of coastal habitats and selected species to climate risks in Chanthaburi and Trat (Thailand), Koh Kong and Kampot (Cambodia), and Kien Giang, Ben Tre, Soc Trang and Can Gio (Vietnam)

This report presents a rapid assessment of the vulnerability to climate change of coastal habitats and selected species in the eight focal areas of the IUCN project ‘Building coastal resilience in Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand’: Koh Kong and Kampot (Cambodia), Chanthaburi and Trat (Thailand), and Ben Tre, Can Gio, Kien Giang and Soc Trang (Vietnam). The aims of this assessment were to identify coastal habitats of highest priority for adaptation planning in the project area, and management issues for some selected species of birds, mammals and reptiles, as well as to assess the sensitivity and adaptive capacity of key fisheries and aquaculture species in light of their expected exposure to climate change risks.
