Global warming in Vietnam - Coggle Diagram
Global warming in Vietnam
Causes
Greenhouse gas emissions
Energy Sector: coal-fired power plants are a major source
Deforestation: loss of natural carbon sinks
Rice cultivation: methane emissions
Industrial Processes: manufacturing emissions
Waste Management: methane from landfills
Impacts
Human Health
Heat stress
increase heat-related illnesse
increase the risk of heatstroke
Respiratory Problems
Air pollution
trigger respiratory problems like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Waterborne Diseases
contaminate water sources
outbreaks of waterborne diseases
Environment and Society
Sea Level Rise
threaten coastal cities
threaten Mekong Delta
contaminate freshwater sources and damage farmland.
Water Scarcity
changing rainfall patterns
water shortages
Rising temperatures
impacting agriculture, industry, and households
social unrest
Extreme Weather Events
increase in typhoons, floods, droughts, and heatwaves.
damage infrastructure
disrupt lives
hurt agricultural yields
impacting food security
Ecosystems and Biodiversity
Ocean Acidification
increased CO2 absorption make the ocean more acidic.
Warmer ocean temperatures
Habitat Loss
destroy natural habitats
forcing plant and animal species to relocate or adapt.
disrupts ecosystems
lead to extinction events
harms marine ecosystems
fish populations
coral reefs
Economic Impacts and Cost of Inaction
Tourism Decline
Degradation of natural beauty (beaches, coral reefs)
extreme weather events
impacting revenue and jobs
High Adaptation Costs
building seawalls
developing drought-resistant crops
Protecting coastlines
Potential Solutions
Coastal Protection
restore mangrove forests to create natural buffers against storm surges and rising sea levels.
Build seawalls, dikes
Renewable EnergyEnergy
Invest in solar power, wind farms, and other clean energy sources
reduce reliance on fossil fuels and decrease emissions.
Disaster Preparedness
Implement early warning systems for typhoons and floods
invest in disaster-resistant infrastructure
educate communities on preparing for extreme weather events.
Climate-Smart Agriculture
Develop drought-resistant crops that require less water
improve water management practices for irrigation.
