Lào Cai

Lào Cai is the northernmost site of this project, found in the high mountain areas of the Red River Catchment. It has a population of around 615,620, comprising of 25 ethnic groups. 64.09% of the population are from an ethnic minority background and the most common economic activities are agriculture and forestry. 

​Climate Change poses specific issues such as abnormal rain patterns that increase water scarcity, thus reducing crop yield. They are also facing increasing extreme weather phenomena such as extreme high-low temperatures, and an increased number of storms and tropical depressions.
