Description
Nguyen Thi Kim's small verdant community in northern Vietnam no longer exists, wiped away in a landslide triggered by Typhoon Yagi's devastating heavy rains last September. She and dozens of other survivors have been relocated to a site that authorities hope will withstand future climate change-linked disasters.
"We want to follow our traditions, but if it's not safe any longer, we need to change," she tells AFP as she walks around the land where her house once stood. Her case is an example of the challenges communities around the world face in adapting to climate change. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES ARRANGED IN SEQUENCES
