Abstract: This case study generally aimed to assess the local people’s adaptation experiences and strategies to cope with SLR and draw lessons learned from the past to help other communes prepare for SLR. The specific objectives were to collect socioeconomic data to help assess adaptive capacity; document coping/adaptation strategies as regards flooding/storm surges; and determine lessons learned from past experiences to help other communities and households prepare for SLR and its related events. The study took place in Giao Thien commune, Giao Thuy district, Nam Dinh province, Red River Delta. A total of 99 households from three household groups were selected as survey respondents. The SLR was accounted using gauging station data, direct interview of local households and authority, and observation of the shoreline. The SLR awareness of local households, the negative impacts of SLR and its related events, and the lessons learned were determined through direct interview of selected households, local authorities, and observation of households’ practices.
