The video discusses the severe impacts of climate change in East Asia and the Pacific, focusing on Vietnam's Mekong Delta, the Marshall Islands, and Indonesia. It highlights adaptation strategies, such as climate-resilient farming in Vietnam, long-term planning in the Marshall Islands, and mangrove conservation in Indonesia. The World Bank supports these efforts to build resilience and secure resources for the future.
