I did my podcast over the Mekong River Delta Region of Vietnam. I examined  how the effects of climate change will hurt the area’s agriculture  sector which will in turn negatively impact the lives of the people  living there and the economy of Vietnam as a whole. Overall, unless  substantial changes are made and the course of events is altered so that  sea levels don’t rise then the area will not be able to survive. The  land will no longer be able to be farmed on and almost all people will  be forced to move inland while taking a huge hit on Vietnam’s GDP.  However, towards the end, I talk of hope with the youth in Vietnam  taking charge and how they are gaining some substantial ground. I  conclude with some rhetorical questions and a reminder that the scenario  of Vietnam can happen to anyone anywhere, so hopefully, viewers feel a  deeper connection to the situation.
