ISET-International is an active member of the Zurich Climate Resilience Alliance (formerly the Zurich Flood Resilience Alliance), a multi-sectoral partnership focusing on finding practical ways to help communities in developed and developing countries strengthen their resilience to climate hazards.

ISET-International Vietnam joined the Alliance in 2021, working in 12 communities in Thua Thien Hue, Binh Dinh and Can Tho provinces. In 2024 we are expanding to a total of 15 communities. ISET also collaborates with Plan-International in Vietnam, who deliver the program in Quang Tri province, on a number of joint activities at the national level, including advocacy for the resilience approach in disaster risk management.
​
In our community work in Vietnam, ISET has applied the Climate Resilience Measurement for Communities (CRMC) to understand flood risk and opportunities for building climate resilience, connecting the work to government mandated community disaster risk management planning and complementing our community work with knowledge generation and active advocacy across scales. Beginning in 2024, we will expand our work to also address extreme heat and tropical storms. Our goal is to integrate resilience thinking and climate risk reduction into Vietnamese planning and development across scales.
