Ho Chi Minh City adapts as floods worsen

Original: # Vietnam Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh City is learning to live with floods but climate change has raised the stakes Ho Chi Min

Ho Chi Minh City is learning to live with regular flooding, as high tides on the Saigon River and smaller waterways routinely inundate roads and businesses. But climate change is raising the stakes, with rising sea levels and more intense downpours making seasonal flooding harder to manage and threatening the city's homes, transport and economy.

Why now: Flooding in Vietnam's largest city is worsening as climate change intensifies, making adaptation a pressing local concern.
