It is the first time that the Forum has been held in Vietnam.

After this, there were lectures by five experts based on the topic of 'Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction in Vietnam'. From 91视频, Associate Professor Rajib Shaw of the Graduate School of Global Environmental Studies made a lecture on the topic of 'Towards an Approach to Climate Change Research in Urban and Rural Areas.' This was followed by an enriching session including a lively question and answer period in a panel discussion on 'Towards an Approach to Climate Change Research Across Diverse Fields'. The meeting was followed by a more casual gathering, giving an opportunity to reflect on the forum and cultivate mutual friendship in a relaxed setting.
