  abstract = {{C}hapter 11 looks at various legislation, policies and programmes that have fostered climate change adaptation over the last two decades in {V}iet {N}am. {W}e aim to introduce fundamental guiding principles for adaptation policies, and address the achievements and limitations in their implementation. {M}any significant results have already been attained in strengthening resilience and enhancing the adaptive capacity of communities, economic sectors and ecosystems; proactively responding to natural disasters, reducing natural disaster risks, and damage due to climate change. {H}owever, several critical limitations in policy implementation need to be addressed. {F}or example, the findings of our case studies in the {N}orth, the {C}entre and the {M}ekong {D}elta indicate a significant lack of technical and financial resources, capacity-building, and an integrated institutional scheme dedicated to climate change. {C}onsequently, short-term reactive responses often override proactive and preventive strategies, while only a few actions address structural drivers of vulnerability. {T}o advance the translation of adaptation policies into practice, we recommend the following actions: developing a system-based approach that integrates vulnerability and risk assessment as well as climatic and socio-economic uncertainty considerations into adaptation decision-making; adjusting adaptation policies to more sufficiently reflect both local context and the needs of vulnerable groups; mainstreaming adaptation into sectoral and local development planning; establishing an appropriate adaptation monitoring and evaluation system; promoting a holistic application of hard and soft adaptation measures; and strengthening the capacity of, and increasing financial and technical support for, all stakeholders.},
