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. 

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

This document reviews existing information on climate and climate change as they affect Vanuatu’s

 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.

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”.
