Vanuatu Agriculture & Climate Change Assesment Methodology

 Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing  Agriculture  Climate Change

Agriculture practices and traditional knowl-edge have been passed down through many generations of Ni-Vanuatu and are particular to different areas of the country. However, these methods may need to be shifted. Predicted changes to rainfall, temperature, storms and sea level linked to climate change may result in changes to planting, fruiting and harvesting times, pests and diseases, location of gardens, soil fertility and other inputs of agriculture products.

Water and Adaptation to Climate Change

 Climate Change

Developing countries, as a group, are the ones most
threatened by the hydrological impacts of global climate
change (GCC). This is true both because many of the
poorest countries lie in those regions where GCC-related
effects will be most damaging, and because their ability to
respond to harmful change is the most limited. The objective
of this study is to provide an overview of likely waterrelated
climate change impacts in developing countries, to
develop a framework for adapting to these impacts and to

Traditional Knowledge and Climate Change Adaptation in the Pacific

Pacific islanders have been dealing with a changing  environment for centuries. Adaptation to change is part  of the lifestyles of the Pacific community, and traditional  knowledge, values, and practices—or intangible cultural  heritage (ICH)—underpins the ability of the Pacific  community to successfully live and thrive in the Pacific  environment. In synergy with other scientific knowledge,  ICH may enhance the communities’ resilience against  natural disasters and climate change. Consideration for 

World Disasters Report Focus on culture and risk

 Culture  Culture and Traditional Knowledge
Culture and risk This year, the World Disasters Report takes on a challenging theme that looks at different aspects of how culture affects disaster risk reduction (DRR) and how disasters and risk influence culture. The report asks, for example, what should be done when people blame a flood on an angry goddess (River Kosi, India, in 2008) or a volcanic eruption on the mountain god (Mount Merapi). After the tsunami in 2004, many people in Aceh (Indonesia) believed that Allah had punished them for allowing

At approximately 11 p.m. local time, the center of the cyclone passed east of Efate Island, which is home to the capital city of Port Vila, and then continued southward, passing just west of Erromango Island and Tanna Island.
