Assessing Environmental Hazards and Vulnerabilities in Underprivileged Communities of the Red River Delta area (Vietnam)
Ensuring environmental equity and justice are pressing concerns in developing nations, where marginalized populations frequently bear a disproportionate burden of environmental hazards. This research aims to explore the distribution of environmental hazards and assess the vulnerability of low-income communities in the Red River Delta area in Northern Vietnam. Through a comprehensive risk assessment framework, the study will evaluate the types and levels of environmental hazards present in these communities, as well as the socio-economic, demographic, and environmental factors that contribute to their heightened vulnerability. The findings will inform policy interventions and strategies to address environmental inequalities and promote environmental justice in the region.
