  • The Mekong Delta's climate defences are failing

    Vietnam's Mekong Delta has invested heavily in large-scale infrastructure projects like sluice gates and irrigation schemes to prevent seawater intrusion and drought impacts, yet recurring mechanical failures, poor implementation, and unintended ecological consequences have rendered these interventions ineffective. Instead of protecting local agriculture, these flawed solutions have increased farmers' debts, prolonged environmental harm, and undermined community resilience.
