    Tajikistan

    Climate change presents significant
    threats to sustainable poverty reduction in Tajikistan. The
    primary impacts on rural livelihoods are expected to stem
    from reduced water quantity and quality (affecting
    agriculture), and increased frequency and severity of
    disasters. Options for farming households to autonomously
    adapt (and thereby move from climate vulnerability to
    resilience) include adoption of on-farm and off-farm

    Vietnam

    The policy reforms called for in the
    transition from a socialist command economy to a developing
    market economy bring both opportunities and risks to a
    country's citizens. In poor economies, the initial
    focus of reform efforts is naturally the rural sector, which
    is where one finds the bulk of the population and almost all

    many rural households out of farming into more remunerative
