VIENTIANE, Jan. 18 (Xinhua) -- A Lao government official has called
for adaptive and preparatory strategies in the wake of severe climate
change, state-run daily Vientiane Times said Tuesday.
Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and the Environment Akhom Tounalom said that strategies are needed to be put into place as global warming and climate change continue to have unpredictable effects on Laos.
Severe weather in 2013 had a significant impact on Laos, affecting agriculture, infrastructure and people's livelihoods. Flash flooding in 2013 destroyed crops across the country and damaged roads and other infrastructure, particularly in the country's north. "We have already experienced the coolest days like other countries,"Akhom said. "To cope with this issue, Laos, which is in the early stages of development, needs to pay attention to natural resources management,"he added.
According to weather data, 2013's wet season was shorter but the rainfall events were much more extreme than in the past. Bush fire is also increasingly worrying as farmers start to prepare their properties for planting at the time of the year.
Akhom admitted that his ministry had more work to do regarding climate change and global warming."Natural disasters have become more devastating in Laos and many people have struggled to make a living as a result,"he said.
