Type: article

Abstract: This study investigates livelihood adaptation strategies to climate change in Mu Cang Chai district, Yen Bai Province, Vietnam, utilizing a mixed-methods approach. Data were gathered from 53 households, along with 15 local managers and experts using Participatory Rural Appraisal techniques. The findings reveal that floods and landslides significantly impact agricultural productivity and income, prompting residents to adopt diverse strategies such as crop diversification and small-scale tourism. Based on these findings, we propose actionable policy recommendations to enhance adaptive capacity and promote sustainable livelihoods. This research contributes to understanding climate adaptation in socio-economically vulnerable mountainous regions.
