Khmer Krom people, southern Vietnam

We are concerned about climate change because we live in low lying land, so just like Maldives, if it happens like predicted, the water level rises, the delta may be flooded.

The rainfall is not normal, but before people did not see it as a part of global warming. Farming is now affected more and more.

The whole family depends on farming so when the output is lower it is not adequate for them to live. Some may escape from the land to find a job in urban areas.

This area is already poor, because the political system discriminates our people are poorer than ethnic Vietnamese so when there is climate change it will affect us more and more and create a socio-economic crisis.
