The Pacific developing member countries (DMCs) of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) are a diverse array of countries with widely varying topographies, cultures and economies, fragile natural resource environments, and prosperity, stability, and security that can be compromised by the impacts and consequences of climate change. The Pacific island governments view climate change as a priority issue, especially in terms of its potential impacts on food security, and need clear directions in addressing both issues.
Les îles du Vanuatu sont exposées à des conditions d’extrême sécheresse ou de pluies intenses en raison des perturbations créées par El Niño et La Niña. Ces conditions climatiques, ajoutées à des évènements extrêmes comme des cyclones, peuvent avoir de graves conséquences sur la qualité de l’eau, l’hygiène alimentaire, les infrastructures (maisons et routes, par exemple), les moyens de subsistence et la santé. Cependant, une bonne information climatique et météorologique, des alertes et des prévisions, peuvent nous aider à anticiper et à faire face à l’évolution des risques.
The Cloud Nasara animation and this tool kit aim to increase awareness of the science of El Niño and La Niña and their impacts. The tool kit also seeks to encourage discussion around how communities, schools, organisations, government departments and businesses in Vanuatu can access forecast information from the Vanuatu Meteorology and Geo-hazard Department (VMGD), pro-actively communicate and work together with other stakeholders, and take early action to prepare for future El Niño and La Niña events.

A New National Disaster Management Office (NDMO) building for the people of Torba Province was officially opened last Friday.
Minister of Climate Change, Ham Lini, led a delegation to Torba on Friday to open the building.
The new building accommodates three offices, one server room, one conference room, one storage room, reception space, toilet and bathroom.
Game on how to get rid of or prevent disaster.
| SPaRCE runs a network of school & community weather stations receiving data on rainfall, temperature, humidity, etc. from all over the Pacific. It supplies weather measuring equipment free. It publishes a regular newsletter for schools & teachers that focuses on CC & DRR, with case studies, activities and experiments |
Most modern astronomers believe that the universe began about 15 billion years ago when a very dense mass of material exploded in the so-called BIG BANG. This explosion sent all the materials of the universe outward in all directions, so that our universe is still expanding. All the galaxies, stars, planets, asteroids and other bodies in the universe were formed or are forming from the gas and dust of this enormous explosion. New stars continue to be formed, while others die or disappear into “black holes”.
This is a course outline provided by the Vanuatu Institude of teachers college providing infomation on learning about the planet Earth.
This booklets consist of information on the possible causes and impacts of climate change that is affecting our natural resources such as earthquakes,cyclones,landslides.It also gives instructions and advices to people on how to get prepared the recent issues of climates changes that is recently occuring.Its all written in English and Bislama
Climate change is impacting on food security and biosecurity in the Pacific region by degradation of
food production areas (sea level rise, salinity, drought), devastation caused by extreme weather
events (cyclones, flooding) and impacts on recovery time such as replacement of lost crop
germplasm and the need to import food substitutes. The aim of this project was to identify the key
impacts of climate change on the unique cropping systems in four small Pacific nations (Tonga,
Vanuatu, Kiribati and Tuvalu). Information was collected by the development of a questionnaire
