The Pacific-Australia Climate Change Science and Adaptation Planning (PACCSAP) Program aims to develop the capacity of Pacific Island Countries (PICs) to manage climate risks. Ultimately climate change adaptation involves the management of identified climate change risks. This project is a component of PACCSAP, and aims to increase the capacity of decision makers in PICs to make informed decisions on climate change adaptation using CBA. By investigating two case studies this PACCSAP project has tested the application of CBA for managing climate risks in the Pacific.

This vocabulary was created as part of the Griffith University Pacific iClim Project. The Project has been funded by the Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade initiative Government Partnerships for Development Program to support SPREP in implementing a regional approach to climate change data and information management throughout the Pacific. 

The Vanuatu National Environment Policy and Implementation Plan 2016–2030 (NEPIP) is an illustration of the Government’s commitment to environmental sustainability and meets the requirements of a national policy and plan set out in the Environmental Protection and Conservation Act [CAP 283]. The NEPIP sets a solid policy platform for long term planning and action to respond to priority environmental issues being addressed by the Government and its partners.

The toolkit, produced by Acclimatise and the Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN), provides indispensable guidance covering:

Things to know before applying: The toolkit provides an overview of the amount and type of funding available along with the role of the key actors involved, such as National Designated Authorities, Accredited Entities and Executing Entities.

The Government of Vanuatu recognises that effective institutions and the inter-relationships between them are at the heart of its ability to respond to growing climate and disaster risks. To this end, a comprehensive analysis of climate and disaster risk governance is undertaken.

Waste Management and Pollution Control is a priority for the Vanuatu government to help protect and conserve the natural environment for its today and tomorrow’s generation’s safety and success. This strategy is a huge milestone of establishment for the Department of Environmental Protection and Conservation (DEPC) developed and aligned with the National Sustainable Development Plan (NSDP) and the National Environment Policy and Implementation Plan (NEPIP) 2016-2030 and the regional Cleaner Pacific 2025 strategy.

The Vanuatu Infrastructure Strategic Investment Plan 2015 – 2024 (VISIP 2015) sets out an optimal set of strategic infrastructure investments for Vanuatu. Further, it suggests how to fund and implement these investments, and recommends institutional developments for planning effective, practical, and sustainable, infrastructure in the context of identified and expected financing over the coming decade. VISIP 2015 will be considered for adoption with the National Sustainable Development Plan (NSDP), which the Government of Vanuatu (GoV) is expected to approve in early 2015.

In response to the growing opportunities from agritourism, the Government of Vanuatu of Vanuatu (Government of Vanuatu) established an Agritourism Steering Committee (ASC) and with assistance from the New Zealand Aid Programme, initiated preparation of the Vanuatu Agritourism Plan of Action (VAPA).

The VAPA provides a framework for enhanced integration of tourism and the productive sectors including agriculture, fisheries and livestock. An Action Plan is included within this document showing priorities for implementation over the next five years.

This Vanuatu Strategic Tourism Action Plan 2014-2018 (VSTAP) provides a high level analysis of tourism in Vanuatu. The VSTAP is divided into a Situation Analysis (section 2) and an Action Plan (section 3). The Situation Analysis identifies 5 key priorities that, if adopted, will straight away positively influence Vanuatu tourism. The Action Plan identifies 6 key areas and their objectives and goals to enable future tourism development. There are 44 actions to be implemented during the lifetime of this plan (5 years) to help achieve these objectives.

The purpose of the directory is to help connect climate finance with those who need it. Climate finance refers to financing channelled by national, regional, and international entities for climate change mitigation and adaptation.

Pacific Tool for Resilience 

PARTneR will enable Pacific government Ministries and stakeholder organisation to effectively developed and used risk-based information to support development decision making on DRR & DRM

PARTneR will tailor RiskScape, a disaster impact mapping and modelling software developed jointly with New Zealand NIWA and GNS science.
