Resilient Shores, a new report jointly developed by the government of Vietnam, the World Bank, and the Global Facility for Disaster Risk Reduction provides an in-depth and multi-sectoral analysis of natural risks in coastal Vietnam. It also reviews current efforts in risk management, and proposes a concrete action plan to balance the risks and opportunities of coastal development. These actions, if taken decisively, are an opportunity to strengthen the resilience of coastal communities and hence the prosperity of coming generations.
