	HCMC set to bear brunt of climate change impacts http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1288026478 Ho Chi Minh City and other Asia's coastal megacities will suffer more frequent and severe flooding affecting millions of people, if current climate change trends continue, a new report says.

Yet they are facing increased risks of climate change such as rising sea levels and an increased frequency in extreme weather conditions.
