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.
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

An entire Agriculture & Climate Change Assesment that had been developed by DARD. Also there is now a new food security and Agriculture Cluster for CC/DRR (Vanuatu Humanitarian Team)
Powerpoint presentations to promote awareness of impacts of climate change and practical adaptations.
There is no doubt that our climate is changing. This will
pose huge challenges to nations, organisations, enterprises,
cities, communities and individuals. Developing
countries will suffer most from the adverse consequences
of climate change, and some highly vulnerable regions
and people are already being affected.
There is increasing agreement that if temperatures rise
by no more than 2 °C the earth’s integrity can be preserved
and many of the potentially grave consequences
of climate change could be avoided. This threshold is
Warming of the climate system is unequivocal,
as is now evident from observations of
increases in global average air and ocean temperatures,
widespread melting of snow and ice,
and rising global average sea level.”
