The program welcomes students from various disciplines, from the social sciences, natural sciences and governance officers to the MCCD program at VJU to improve the knowledge and skills to meet the urgent needs of Vietnam in particular and the world in general on responding to climate change.
Originated as part of the inter-multi-disciplinary programs under VJU, the MCCD includes research-oriented courses to be scientists, an educator or an expert on the climate change and management-oriented courses to be a manager, a policymaker and a social leader who has general, sustainable vision on the climate change problems, not only in Vietnam but also in foreign countries around the world.
In the end of 2018, Southeast Asia Research-based Network on Climate Change Adaptation Science (SARNCCAR) was established to network researchers from 4 countries: Vietnam, Japan, Thailand and Philippines from many disciplines in order to encourage different voices and contribute research-base and community-based researches into a common message toward climate change adaptation science. The MCCD (VJU) and Ibaraki University are the two host for the first workshop on 20th and 21st 2018, in Hanoi and Nam Dinh province.
For the knowledgeably valuable workshop, VJU students had precious lessons through discussions with researchers from all over the world.
VJU students talked about their research about climate change adaptation
"Crossroad” and "My Timeline” as the third tool for changing mindset of us for disaster prevention
Prof. Ito Tetsuji, lecturer of subject "Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation” in the MCCD presented his poster about disaster prevention which is one of the most important precaution activities. With his research in Vietnam, Ito links case studies of Japanese prevention for natural disasters.
He mentioned about the disaster prevention training workshop, especially "Crossroad” and "My Time Line”, at elementary and junior high school in Joso City and great education effect for Japanese children.
