The research project “Land Use and Climate Change interactions in the Vu Gia Thu Bon River Basin/Central Vietnam – LUCCi” funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research - BMBF - involves a large consortium of universities together with international and relevant Vietnamese institutions. The project started in July 2010 and aims at providing a scientific basis for land use and water resources management strategies by applying interdisciplinary research methods considering both natural and social science approaches. The Vu Gia Thu Bon river basin (VGTB) serves as the case study for the whole Central Vietnamese region. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from different land use and land cover changes are analyzed on the one hand and climate change impacts on existing land uses, hydrology as well as on the human and natural environment are investigated on the other. Based on the results, scenarios will be developed by applying integrated models and hence strategies for sustainable land use and water resources management will be derived in strong collaboration with the national and local stakeholders. The research demands and objectives are continuously being discussed with the national and local authorities from Quang Nam and Da Nang province.
