The El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in 2016 adversely affected Vietnam particularly in the Mekong River Delta (MRD), where more than 90% of the country’s rice export is produced annually. During that time, salinity intrusion and drought significantly affected agricultural production in the area. Furthermore, flooding is another recurring event in the area that is increasing in frequency. An assessment conducted by CGIAR Centers showed that even as warnings were provided by the government for the 2016 ENSO, these were not translated into appropriate preparations and responsive actions for agriculture. To address this critical issue, the Department of Crop Production (DCP) of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) of Vietnam, and CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security in Southeast Asia (CCAFS-SEA) collaborated to develop and test an participatory approach for mapping climate risks and adaptive interventions (CS-MAP) to recognize climate-related risks, identify potentially affected areas and develop regional and provincial adaptation plans for rice production. The CS-MAP is a participatory approach involving experts from various local and national offices for: (1) identifying climate-related risks; (2) delineating affected areas and risk levels; (3) proposing corresponding adaptive plans; (4) fine tuning and verifying proposed measures; and (5) developing integrated provincial and regional adaptation plans. Risks and adaptive interventions maps were developed for normal and ENSO years by using technical data (i.e. topography and hydrology), infrastructures (i.e. dikes, road and canals), and local observations. CS-MAP is now is under various stages of development and implementation in 13 MRD provinces highlighting the organizational uptake and integration of the approach.

2016年的厄尔尼诺-南方涛动（ENSO）对越南造成了不利影响，特别是在湄公河三角洲（MRD），越南每年该国大米出口量的90％以上来自该地区。在此期间，盐分入侵和干旱严重影响了该地区的农业生产。此外，洪水是频率不断增加的区域中的又一事件。国际农业研究磋商组织各中心进行的评估表明，即使政府向2016年ENSO发出警告，也未将其转化为对农业的适当准备和响应行动。为解决这一关键问题，越南农业和农村发展部（MARD）的作物生产部（DCP）和国际农业研究磋商组织（CGIAR）气候变化研究计划，东南亚的农业和粮食安全（CCAFS-SEA）合作开发并测试了一种参与性方法，用于绘制气候风险图和适应性干预措施（CS-MAP），以识别与气候有关的风险，确定可能受影响的地区，并制定区域和省级适应计划用于大米生产。CS-MAP是一种参与性方法，涉及来自地方和国家各个办事处的专家，以：（1）识别与气候相关的风险；（2）划定受影响地区和风险等级；（3）提出相应的适应计划；（4）对拟议措施进行微调和验证；（5）制定省和地区的综合适应计划。通过使用技术数据（如地形和水文），基础设施（如堤防，道路和运河），以及当地观察。CS-MAP目前处于MRD的13个省的开发和实施的不同阶段，突出了该方法的组织采用和整合。
