Mekong basin countries face the impacts of climate change
Climate change is not just a threat in the Mekong River Basin. Its impact is present and affecting the livelihoods of the millions who rely on the river’s natural resources. The Lower Mekong River Basin (LMB), comprising Cambodia, Lao PDR, Thailand, and Viet Nam, is recognised as one of the region’s most vulnerable to climate change. The economies of the LMB countries, their ecosystems, sustainability, and social harmony are all at risk.
