[I] Sạt lở đất là một thách thức môi trường nghiêm trọng tại các tỉnh miền núi phía Bắc Việt Nam, đặc biệt trong mùa mưa. Khu vực này, với đặc trưng là địa hình dốc đứng và lượng mưa lớn, rất dễ xảy ra thiên tai này, gây ra những mối đe dọa nghiêm trọng đối với cả đời sống người dân và hệ thống cơ sở hạ tầng.

[II] Trong những năm gần đây, nhiều vụ sạt lở đất đã xảy ra, thường do các đợt mưa lớn kéo dài kích hoạt, để lại những hậu quả tàn khốc đối với cộng đồng và sinh kế của người dân địa phương.

Địa hình miền núi, kết hợp với tình trạng phá rừng và sử dụng đất không hợp lý, càng làm gia tăng nguy cơ sạt lở. [III] Khi người dân phát quang rừng để canh tác nông nghiệp, lớp thảm thực vật tự nhiên có vai trò giữ và ổn định đất bị mất đi, khiến các sườn dốc trở nên dễ bị xói mòn hơn. Khi mưa lớn làm đất bị bão hòa nước, nền đất nhanh chóng trở nên mất ổn định, dẫn đến các vụ sạt lở đột ngột và mang tính hủy diệt. [IV]

Trước mối đe dọa ngày càng gia tăng này, chính quyền địa phương và các tổ chức môi trường đang chủ động triển khai nhiều biện pháp nhằm giảm thiểu rủi ro do sạt lở đất gây ra. Các nỗ lực bao gồm trồng rừng phục hồi, cải thiện hệ thống thoát nước và nâng cao nhận thức cộng đồng về những biện pháp an toàn trong mùa mưa. Bên cạnh đó, các hệ thống giám sát tiên tiến cũng đang được áp dụng để đưa ra cảnh báo sớm, giúp người dân kịp thời sơ tán trước khi thảm họa xảy ra.

Mặc dù đã có những cố gắng đáng kể, các thách thức vẫn còn rất lớn; vì vậy, việc giáo dục lâu dài và hỗ trợ các thực hành quản lý bền vững là yếu tố then chốt nhằm giảm tần suất cũng như mức độ tác động của sạt lở đất ở miền núi phía Bắc Việt Nam.
