as additional multiplier for existing development problems,
especially with regard to water and food security

reflect political, conceptual and operational challenges
that lie at the heart of the current debate on loss and

 The Vanuatu National Climate Change Disaster Risk Reduction  Policy 2022 - 2030 second edtion

Vanuatu is one of the most vulnerable countries in the world to climate change and disaster risks. The island nation experiences cyclones, storm surges, landslides, flooding and droughts, which may become more intense as a result of climate change. Vanuatu is also highly exposed to geophysical threats such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and tsunamis, as well as human, animal and plant diseases, and human-caused disasters.
