flag Vietnam launches a $6B flood plan using nature-based solutions after climate-fueled storms caused severe flooding in 2025.

flag Vietnam is overhauling its flood response after severe 2025 storms intensified by climate change, with warmer oceans fueling stronger, faster storms. flag The government launched a $6 billion national plan through 2030, focusing on early-warning systems, relocating at-risk communities, and adopting "sponge city" designs using green spaces and restored water bodies to manage stormwater. flag Aging infrastructure and decades of urban expansion, including the loss of lakes and wetlands, have worsened flooding, especially in cities like Hanoi, where over 75% of the city is at flood risk. flag Experts warn traditional concrete-heavy solutions are insufficient, urging nature-based solutions inspired by global models. flag Vietnam faces $1.4 billion in flood damages in 2025 and needs $55–92 billion this decade to adapt.
