Reading
Read the text about the risk of sea-level rise.
More than 20 coastal cities in Viet Nam are directly affected by rising sea levels. This can endanger water supply in all coastal cities and threaten the life of millions of people.
Viet Nam's Me Kong Delta, one of Asia's most fertile rice-growing regions and home to approximately 20 million people, faces the risk of fast sea-level rise. Sea-level rise could flood more than 80 percent of the Me Kong Delta, and rice production may drop by about 2.6 million tonnes per year.
In addition, natural ecosystems and economic activities such as fisheries and tourism may be disrupted. Storms and sea-level rise can cause erosion of river banks and beaches, which can lead to loss of land.
Sea-level rise is global. People should understand the risks of living in coastal areas and be prepared to deal with them.
