Vietnam is one of the most vulnerable countries in the world to climate change. Forests play a crucial role in averting climate catastrophe. The World Bank East Asia and the Pacific (EAP1) is conducting a study on Exploring the Links between Climate Change, Migration and Livelihood in Forest Communities in Vietnam. The objective of this analytical work is to understand the links between climate change impacts, migration, and livelihood strategies among forest communities in Vietnam. It will examine the impacts of climate change on forest communities, which include identifying differential vulnerabilities faced by forest communities and exploring communities perceptions, experiences, and responses toward climate change impacts in relation to livelihood strategies (including through migration), food security, and other areas of interest. This in turn would help in identifying
months, however, the war in Ukraine has led to a rise in coal use, as a short-term replacement of Russian oil and gas. But in the medium term, both advanced and developing economies will need to accelerate the coal transition to meet Paris Agreement targets. Decisive actions and financial resources are essential, but success will ultimately depend on effective policies to deal with the resulting disruption to jobs, reflected in the call for a “just transition.”

At the most serious end of the spectrum, this has contributed to food shortages. But maritime backlogs can delay the delivery of everything ranging from clothes to couches to cars.

developments of these markets is critical to the design of policy frameworks that facilitate the economic objectives of sustainable growth, inflation stability, poverty reduction, food security, and the mitigation of climate change. This study is the first comprehensive analysis examining market and policy developments for all commodity groups, including energy, metals, and agriculture, over the past century. It finds that, while the quantity of commodities consumed has risen enormously, driven by population and income growth, the relative importance of commodities has shifted over time, as technological innovation created new uses for some materials and facilitated substitution among commodities. The study also shows that commodity markets are heterogeneous in terms of their drivers, price behavior, and macroeconomic impact on emerging markets and developing economies, and that the relationship between economic growth and commodity demand varies widely across countries, depending on their stage of economic development. Policy frameworks that enable countercyclical macroeconomic responses have become increasingly common—and beneficial. Other policy tools have had mixed outcomes.
