INTRODUCTION
1. Make a problem
Mangroves and ecosystems Coastal areas play a great role in
economy, ecology and environment, have important functions for the
population community such as: providing food, foodstuffs and
medicinal herbs; coastal protection, windbreak, wave break; improve
coastal water quality; carbon storage; is the habitat of wild animals; is
an educational, research and entertainment environment. However,
according to the recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC) forecast, due to the impacts of climate change, mangrove
forests along the coast are predicted to decrease in area and function.,
growth ability. Located between land and sea at low latitudes,
mangroves are a vulnerable area to climate change.
Around the world, the loss and damage (L&D) caused by
climate change has been mentioned, formed and developed by the
United Nations Climate Change Summit (UNFCCC). through the
Conference of the Parties (COP) from 2007 to present. The 2015 Paris
Agreement also mentioned that the parties recognized the importance
of preventing, minimizing and addressing loss and damage related to
the adverse effects of climate change, including climate change
events. extreme weather and slow-moving events and the role of
sustainable development in reducing the risk of loss and damage.
Participants must increase understanding, action, and support, on a
cooperative basis, about the losses and damages resulting from the
adverse impacts of climate change. Article 8 of the Agreement stated
8 areas of cooperation and facilitation to enhance mutual
understanding, action and support, of which non-economic losses are
one of the mentioned contents.

In Vietnam, the loss and damage to mangrove ecosystems due
to climate change has not been studied much to measure and evaluate.
Stemming from this practice, the thesis Research on, assessment of
loss and damage to mangrove ecosystems in Ca Mau Cape National
Park related to climate change was built with the expectation of the
results of the study. the study will provide a scientific basis for managers
and experts to identify and determine the damage caused by climate
change to the mangrove ecosystem; develop orientations for
management and conservation of mangroves in the context of
reasonable climate change.
2. Research objective
(i) Identify appropriate methods and procedures to assess loss
and damage to mangrove ecosystems in Ca Mau Cape National Park
related to climate change
(ii) Assess the loss and damage to the mangrove ecosystem in
Ca Mau Cape National Park related to climate change and propose
solutions to minimize.
3. Objects and scope of research
3.1. Research subjects
The object of the study is the loss and damage caused by
climate change to the mangrove ecosystem in Mui Ca Mau National
Park, namely (i) loss and damage to services provided ( supplies of
wood, firewood, medicinal herbs, aquatic products/seafood); (ii) loss
and damage to support services (losing the area of mangrove forest
which is a breeding ground for mangrove species and species); (iii)
loss and damage to regulatory services (reducing protection against
coastal erosion) and; loss and damage to cultural and entertainment
services (focusing on tourism services).
