Abstract: Abstract This study investigates the livelihood vulnerability to climate change of farm households in Northeast Vietnam. Data for the study is based on a survey with 534 farm households in the study site. The livelihood vulnerability index was used to measure the household vulnerability to natural hazards and climate variability. The results show that the livelihood of farm households in the study site is moderately vulnerable to natural hazards and climate variability. However, livelihood strategies, health and food are more susceptible than social networks, water, housing, land tenure and assets; while the socio-demographic profile is least vulnerable. The result suggests that to sustain the livelihood and improve the adaptive capacity of farm households to respond to climate change impacts, specific interventions for each component of the livelihood should be planned and applied.
