Setting up strong monitoring systems, including the use of climatespecific
tools, is an essential step in setting up a fund. It can lead to
better tracking of the climate impacts of the projects, helps assessing
the transformational impacts of projects and investments, focusing
on the results achieved with the money, and provide transparency
and accountability for the fund’s operations.

Addressing challenges posed by climate change requires significant financial resources. In the growing literature of climate change, “climate finance” refers to financial resources required to cover the costs of climate actions and investments2. Climate finance is complex because of the diversity of sources of funds, agents and channels to distribute the funds to intended beneficiaries at different levels and scales. The expected scale of climate finance is also significant. Developed countries have committed to mobilize new and additional resources for climate investments.
The Tabwemasana Research Project was conducted from 2010-2011 in the Republic of Vanuatu on
the island of Espiritu Santo (Santo) which is the largest in the nation’s archipelago of 83 islands. The
study derived its name (with permission from the local Chiefs) from the highest mountain in
Vanuatu, Mt Tabwemasana, located on the island of Espiritu Santo. The total population of Vanuatu
is 243,304 and Santo is 34,388 (VNSOa 2009). The nation’s population is largely constituted of young
Recommendations and conclustions of the workshopto increase local agricultural produce in the tourism supply chain in Vanuatu.
This report capture the key lessons learned from the implementation of a pilot study which tested subsidized and sustainable renewable energy and energy efficiency models within the private tourism sector. These lessons are intended to assist with the analysis and development of innovative & sustainable business models to increase access to renewable energy and energy efficiency for small-scale tourism operators in Vanuatu.
This poster highlights the benefits for small island-based tourism businesses in Vanuatu to utilize renewable energy. It is jointly prepared by the Department of Tourism, the Department of Energy & GIZ.

Approach to Climate Change
This report uses these generic methods to provide recommendations for climate resilient development in the PICs in the following sectors: coastal protection, flood management, water resources management, protection of infrastructure against changes in temperature and precipitations, protection of buildings against cyclone winds, and adaptation in the agriculture sector.
The FRDP identifies three inter-related goals that need to be actively pursued by all stakeholders, working in partnership, in order to enhance resilience to disasters and climate change in the context of sustainable development and efforts to eradicate poverty.
The Forty-Seventh Pacific Islands Forum was held in Pohnpei, Federated States of Micronesia from 8 – 10 September 2016 and was attended by Heads of State and Government of Australia, the Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of Nauru, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Republic of the Marshall Islands, Samoa, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu.

The Urban Growth Trends Report forms part of the Mainstreaming Disaster Risk Reduction Project: Risk Mapping and Planning for Urban Preparedness Project being undertaken by the Vanuatu Meteorology and Geo-hazards Department. The report analyses the trend existing urban development, the historical growth trends, teh legislative framework and key drivers that are directly growth in Port Vila and Luganville urban areas.
Suva, Fiji – A major new report, Reviving Melanesia’s Ocean Economy: The Case for Action, launched today, has revealed that the ocean is a much larger part of Melanesia’s economy and future prosperity than previously understood.
Melanesia is a large sub-region in the Pacific that extends from the western end of the Pacific Ocean to the Arafura Sea, and eastward to Fiji. The region includes Fiji, New Caledonia, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu.
In the years to come, climate-related shocks and trends will amplify the challenges and risks of displacement for the people of the Pacific. In this context, this paper analyses the opposite perceptions of the migration process in the Pacific from the main receiving countries in the region (Fiji, Australia and New Zealand). This is explored through a hybrid approach employed in the postulation of a legal framework, which would attempt to create a balance of interest between the migrants and the receiving countries articulated on socio-economic and environmental parameters.
