A climate change scenario created in 2016 showed that if the sea level rises by 100 cm, and if no solutions are taken, some 39% of the total area of Mekong Delta will face the risk of flooding. Localities with the highest risk are Hậu Giang (over 80 per cent of area), Kiên Giang (nearly 77 per cent) and Cà Mau (about 58 per cent).
