ASEAN’S Southern Communities AT Danger
Experts are urging nations to take action to stop flooding brought on by obvious sea level rise.
In specific, Southeast Asia is at serious risk of losing facilities and low-lying southern communities.
People believe they have plenty of time with climate change and sea level rise, according to Tjitte Nauta, local boss for Asia and Oceania at Dutch applied information university Deltares.  ,
” But now is the perfect time to study it and make the right choice.” I do encourage ASEAN ( the Association of Southeast Asian Nations ) to move towards, however, more attention, but also collaboration within the area. They can learn from each other, we may even learn from them”.
Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Malaysia are areas prone to flooding and southern degradation.
” The entire city of Bangkok is exceedingly vulnerable”, said Nauta. ” If 2m of comparative sea level rise, some 28 per cent of the Thai people and 52 per share of the GDP ( gross domestic product ) will be affected.  ,
Therefore, it should be pretty clear that Thailand will work on a long-term strategy, regardless of whether they choose to protect or relocate the city or whatever.
In Indonesia, sea level rise has a serious negative impact on large swaths of low-lying peatland used for fuel hand production.  ,
A 2m sea level rise likely had a devastating impact on Vietnam’s people, especially those who depend on their agricultural production to the Mekong and Red River Delta.
Malaysia’s coastal areas will not be spared sometimes, according to satellite information.
Recently, Deltares established an online forum where fresh ASEAN officials could express their opinions on tackling climate concerns.
Instead of telling them to do what they think they need, Josien Grashof, Deltares ‘ adviser on resilience and planning, said,” It’s very important to look at what the countries need.”  ,
” But by getting their possession of this procedure, we can actually work towards their highest objectives.”
Deltares noted issues affecting some Southeast Asian nations, including differences in regional priorities and the lack of money and reliable early warning system data.
