Amid rapid urbanization, Ha Noi is increasingly facing extreme weather events such as prolonged heatwaves, cold spells, storms, flooding, or air pollution. Outdoor workers are among the groups most directly and severely affected. However, research on this issue in Viet Nam remains limited, particularly in terms of multi-dimensional analysis of how climate change impacts outdoor workers’ health, livelihoods, social life, as well as their ability to access response and support services.

The study was conducted to (1) explore and analyze the multidimensional impacts of extreme weather events on the health, livelihoods, social life, and access to response services of outdoor workers; (2) synthesize and assess outdoor workers’ adaptation measures and coping solutions to mitigate the impacts of extreme weather on their health, livelihoods, social life and access to response services; and, (3) propose co-designed recommendations and solutions aimed at strengthening the capacity to cope with and adapt to harsh weather conditions, while promoting inclusiveness and social equity for outdoor workers.
