Dr. Pauschert said that “GIZ is helping to save lives and help people to protect their homes and sources of income from floods in Vietnam”. Presently, GIZ is supporting national and provincial levels in integrated drainage plans adapted to climate change, sustainable drainage systems as part of flood sensitive urban development, early warning systems, flood risk management and climate change activities. “The establishment of the national and provincial policy and regulatory framework for urban resilience is also an important part of GIZ support.”, said Dr. Pauschert.
