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
The Department of Energy (DoE) is one of the Departments under the Ministry of Climate Change Adaptation, Meteorology, Geo-hazards, Energy, Environment and National Disaster Management Office. Its mandate is vested in Vanuatu’s National Energy Roadmap (NERM) and the activities, policies, programs and projects implemented by the Department all contribute to achieving the policy priorities and targets stipulated in the NERM. DoE’s role is beyond policy and legislative development for an effective energy sector.
Also called a Jet Stove, a Rocket Stove is an efficient and hot burning stove using small diameter wood fuel. Fuel is burned in a simple combustion chamber containing an insulated vertical chimney, which ensures almost complete combustion prior to the flames reaching the cooking surface.
Wood fuel is the oldest form of extracting heat energy and is still the most popular form of energy in the Pacific. However, because it is so readily available, we tend to use wood fuel inefficiently.
The regulated MEPSL products are enforced under the bill for Energy Efficiency of Electrical Appliances, Equipment and Lighting Products Act No 24 of 2016. Most energy effeicient appliances can sometimes cost more in purchasing, but will be more energy efficient and cost effectve over time due to using less electricity in its lifespan.
