Longtemps considérés comme une annexe hivernale ou, selon l’expression même de Coubertin, un prélude aux « vrais Jeux », les Jeux olympiques d’hiver ont reçu beaucoup moins d’attention que les Jeux d’été sous prétexte qu’ils attiraient moins d’athlètes, moins de spectateurs et que la compétition réelle ne concernait que quelques pays. Avec l’attein...

In the context of climate change and sea level rise, several countries find themselves in a very difficult situation, because of the extent of their coastal zones. This is the case for Vietnam, where most of the 3,200 km of coasts are characterized by a very low elevation, thus very sensitive to sea level rise and storm surges. While initially prot...

Flood risk management is becoming an issue that is both relevant and sensitive. Even though no one argues about the need for flood risk management, the practices used are often challenged and subject to controversy. This is particularly the case in the Red River Delta, in Vietnam. Flood risks are very important in the area and so they have been for...
