Abstract
This report will discuss some results of a case study on climate change and agricultural production in Vietnam, showing the trend of agro-climate element changes such as average temperature; the dates of beginning and ending temperature through 20 and 25°C; absolute minimum temperature; sunshine duration; rainfall, by month, season and year in all agro-economical regions. Moreover, it aims to show that climate change and sea level rise have impacted on agricultural production such as rice crop areas and production of maize, soybean and groundnut in the Red river delta, Central Region, Mekong River Delta and other regions. Furthermore, it provides suggested strategies to cope with climate change and sea level rise by different scenarios in 2050 and after 2050.
