FACT: Laos has been identified as the 42nd most vulnerable country in the world to climate change. This is due to the country’s sensitivity and exposure to climate-related hazards such as floods and draughts and the high proportion of subsistence farmers without alternative livelihoods resulting in a low coping capacity to deal with the ill-effects of weather extremes.
