Climate change could be a boon for urban residents
Climate change could be a boon for urban residents
Trung NguyenResearch Awards2017Climate change is a crucial issue in Trung Huu Nguyen’s home country of Vietnam, particularly its coastal cities. But, says the 2017 IDRC Research Award Recipient, most of the research on climate change perceptions focuses on rural farmers and overlooks urban residents.
“Perceptions of climate change are important because they influence behaviours and response, and contribute to informed policy decisions,” says Nguyen. Working in the coastal cities of Hoi An and Nha Trang, he found that residents not only recognized impacts of climate change such as extreme heat and flooding, but had adapted in various ways, including diversifying their income-generation activities.
As Nguyen’s earlier experiences and education focused on rural communities and livelihoods, his fieldwork allowed him to gain better insight into the impacts of climate change on urban residents who depend on tourism. For them, it could mean a better and longer business season, he says.
To enable residents to adapt to future changes, he concluded that greater efforts should be made to inform them of predicted impacts and incorporate their concerns into urban and climate policies.
Working at IDRC was Nguyen’s “first professional experience abroad,” which allowed him to develop professional networks and hone his analytical skills, including in gender analysis. “It was an excellent opportunity to enhance my knowledge and skills for research on climate change impacts and adaptation strategies to reduce climate risk,” he says.
Nguyen also credits the research award with broadening his view of research for development. “Before IDRC, I worked mainly for development programs and projects insofar as they contributed to the goals of the projects, rather than global perspectives,” he says. At IDRC, he learned that programs can contribute to broader development goals.

Entrepreneurship draws Southeast Asia’s youth
Entrepreneurship draws Southeast Asia’s youth
Jonathan De LucaResearch Awards2017“The top priority for youth in Myanmar and Vietnam isn’t a high salary,” says Jonathan de Luca, 2017 IDRC Research Award Recipient. “It’s adequate health, being able to spend time with family, and to develop and use skills.”
This finding suggests that policymakers and business leaders don’t understand the needs of young
women and men, he says. “Interviews with policymakers and business leaders show that they believe that providing better paying work is sufficient.”
De Luca’s research focused on youth livelihoods in medium-sized cities of the Greater Mekong sub-region. “Dawei in Myanmar and Quy Nhon in Vietnam are experiencing rapid economic development as a result of export-oriented industrialization and manufacturing,” he says. Despite the steady jobs this industrialization creates, he found that young people are much more interested in self-employment because of the freedom and autonomy it affords them.
De Luca confesses that “I really had no idea how everything would come together until a month into the analysis phase where I took a step back and thought “Ah-hah! This actually is telling a really interesting story!”
“I can’t forget that my research exists only because there were young people in Vietnam and Myanmar who wanted to talk to me about the issues that affect them and tell me about their aspirations and hopes for life and work in the future,” he says. “I not only owe it to them for helping me to complete my research, but I also owe it to them to have my work contribute to some change in this world.”
“So even though my year at IDRC is over, I’m going to take this research with me and try and help it to influence something in some way.”

Field research opens new vistas in Vietnam
Field research opens new vistas in Vietnam
Experiencing the realities of research in the field is what Claire Le Barbenchon, a 2015 IDRC Research Award recipient, “looks back upon with fondness. Field research was a brand new experience for me,” she says, and she was doing so “in a yet unexplored country for me — Vietnam.”
Her research on understanding non-farm employment among ethnic minority groups threw Le Barbenchon’s work a few initial curves. First, her permits were delayed, forcing her to consider different work. Then she discovered that national surveys had not properly captured migration of ethnic minorities and to find enough interviewees, she would have to go into remote areas.
“As I got to know different people from Vietnam and learned more about the culture, my research changed and improved, and my questions became more relevant and precise,” she says. “Connecting with people and asking questions was the most enriching part of my experience.”
Of her year at IDRC, Le Barbenchon says that “my appreciation, understanding and insight into the world of development research was formed by IDRC, and has been a springboard for the continuation of my career in this field. It also allowed me to grow as a person, in an intellectually charged environment.”
