Changing climate patterns and increases in climate extremes pose new challenges to livelihoods of ethnic communities in the upland area in Thừa Thiên-Huế (TTH) province. Unpredictability and extreme events have had adverse effects on both farming and income of many ethnic minority households who are already more likely to be vulnerable due to socio-economic and cultural marginalization. Promoting household resilience to climate extremes has emerged as a key development priority for those living in this area. Using data from a household survey conducted in two upland districts of TTH province (Nam Đông and A Lưới), this study employed FAO’s resilience framework to measure household climate change resilience of different ethnic groups and a Poison regression model to identify determinants of household adaptation. Results showed that ethnic minority households had relatively low resilience to climate change and variability with the resilience index only 0.428. Due to geographic isolation, agriculture-dependent ethnic minority households in A Lưới were least resilient to climate change. Results suggest that interventions aimed at promoting climate resilience for ethnic minority households should focus on increasing people’s knowledge of climate change and associated impacts and risks; and improving household income, savings and strengthen household asset base. Almost all households in the study areas have adopted adaptation measures, such as adjusting the seasonal calendar for crop production; using local crop varieties; practicing mixed cropping; and mulching. Education level, climate change awareness and risk perception of the household head, household income source and ability to access credit were key elements of households’ choice of adaptation strategies.

气候模式的变化和极端气候的增加给ThthaThiên-Huế（TTH）省高地地区的民族社区的生活带来了新的挑战。不可预测性和极端事件对许多少数民族家庭的农业和收入都产生了不利影响，由于社会经济和文化边缘化，这些少数民族家庭本来就更容易受到伤害。对于生活在该地区的人们来说，增强家庭的抵御气候极端能力已成为一项重要的发展重点。利用在TTH省两个高地地区（NamĐng和ALưới）进行的家庭调查数据，本研究采用了粮农组织的复原力框架来衡量不同族裔的家庭气候变化复原力，并采用了Poison回归模型来确定家庭适应性的决定因素。结果表明，少数民族家庭对气候变化和变异的适应力较低，其抗逆指数仅为0.428。由于地理上的孤立，阿拉里州依赖农业的少数民族家庭对气候变化的抵抗力最差。结果表明，旨在提高少数族裔家庭的气候适应能力的干预措施应侧重于增加人们对气候变化及其相关影响和风险的认识；改善家庭收入，储蓄并加强家庭资产基础。研究区几乎所有家庭都采取了适应措施，例如调整作物生产的季节日历；以及 使用当地农作物品种；实行混种；和覆盖。受教育程度，对气候变化的认识以及对户主的风险感知，
