      abstract = {This article constructed two spatial indices to better  understand the interactions between social sustainability  (an important but poorly defined concept) and exposure to  climatic and environmental risks. The indices, and the  Choropleth maps used to represent them, can be combined and  operationalized across different country contexts to yield  insights into how climate change and social vulnerabilities  intersect and can be jointly addressed. The two indices  were here applied to Vietnam, a country particularly  exposed to climate change. While Vietnam is well-known for  its vulnerability to changing temperatures and rising sea  levels, there was huge variation within and between regions  for these two risks. The analysis also found enormous  spatial variation within the risks from precipitation,  drought, deforestation, and air pollution. Social inclusion  generally outperformed resilience and social cohesion, as  well as empowerment in Vietnam. Our findings were robust  for choices of indicators, weights, and aggregation  specifications.},
