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. 

Coastal fisheries provide staple food and sources of livelihood in Pacific Island countries, and securing a sustainable supply is recognised as a critical priority for nutrition security. This study sought to better understand the role of fish for Pacific Island communities during disasters and in disaster recovery. To evaluate community impacts and responses after natural disasters, focus group discussions were held with men and women groups at ten sites across Shefa, Tafea, Malampa and Sanma provinces in Vanuatu.

The Ministry for Climate Change Adaptation, Meteorology, Geo-Hazards, Environment, Energy and Disaster Management, Government of Vanuatu, contracted NIWA (The National Institute of Water & Atmospheric Research Ltd.) for the ‘Supply, delivery and installation of Automatic Weather Stations (AWS) in six different locations in Vanuatu’ (SC G02).

Van-KIRAP will support Vanuatu Meteorology and Geohazards Department (VMGD). to provide five
target sectors, including the Department of Fisheries and its stakeholders, with climate information
ready to be used in current and planned activities. A sector coordinator in the Department of Fisheries
will co-ordinate implementation of the Fisheries and Climate Action and Communication Plan to
advance the mainstreaming of climate information services into fisheries policy, planning, design and
delivery.

Van-KIRAP will support VGMD to provide five target sectors, including the Ministry of Infrastructure
and Public Utilities (MIPU) and its stakeholders, with climate information ready to be used in current
and planned activities. A sector coordinator in MIPU will co-ordinate implementation of the
Infrastructure and Climate Action and Communication Plan to advance the mainstreaming of climate
information services into infrastructure policy, planning, design and delivery.

Van-KIRAP will support VGMD to provide five target sectors, including the Department of Tourism and
its stakeholders, with climate information ready to be used in current and planned activities. A sector

 The Vanuatu Klaetmet Infomesen Blong Ready, Adapt mo Protekt (Van-KIRAP) Project is developing and delivering climate data, information,decision support tools and associated knowledge products in the form of climate inofrmation services to raise climate awareness and guide decision-making for a range of key stakeholders in Vanuatu.

The climate information services are relevent services are relevant across multiple time scales including current and future climate, and relate to five priority sectors: infrastructure, water, agriculture, fisheries, and tourism.

The Pacific island region is highly prone to natural disasters,
especially cyclones, droughts and volcanic eruptions. These
impose a heavy economic toll, diverting resources away from
all forms of development. In a region so dependent on
agriculture as the Pacific Islands, reducing exposure to and
mitigating against the effects of natural disasters offers
immediate and substantial benefits to the sustainable
development of the region.
This report provides a detailed account of the interrelationships
between disasters and agricultural systems in

Around the world, weather patterns are shifting
and farmers are scrambling to adjust as the
leading edge of climate change is arriving.
In quite a few places, growing seasons have
expanded, in others they have contracted. Sea
levels are rising and water tables are shrinking.
For agriculture, climate change is no longer
conjecture but a fact of daily life.
