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
Coordinator in the Department of Tourism will co-ordinate the Tourism and Climate Action and
Communication Plan to advance the mainstreaming of climate information services into Tourism
policy, planning, design and delivery.
Van-KIRAP will support VGMD to provide five target sectors, including the Water Resources Division
and its stakeholders, with climate information ready to be used in current and planned activities. A
sector Coordinator in the Water Resources Division will co-ordinate the Water and Climate Action and
Communication Plan to advance the mainstreaming of climate information services into Water policy,
planning, design and delivery.
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.
Books of worksheets (linked to the SEREAD programme)containing experiments and exercises for tearchers and students to foster understandinf of weather
,climate,oceans and sea level rise.
Leading scientists indicate that the global is changing. As a result extreme weather is increasing, average temperature is rising, patterns of dry and wet periods are shifting, and sea levels are rising. These effects impact on the vulnerability of people. Extreme weather: Climate change is accompanied by an increase in extreme weather events. The trend can already be witnessed: frequency, intensity and unpredictability of extreme weather is increasing.
| SPaRCE runs a network of school & community weather stations receiving data on rainfall, temperature, humidity, etc. from all over the Pacific. It supplies weather measuring equipment free. It publishes a regular newsletter for schools & teachers that focuses on CC & DRR, with case studies, activities and experiments |
| Technical report on climate science in the Pacific region & for Vanuatu - focus on climate drivers and projections |
Flyer giving summary of technical report on climate science:
The impact of natural disasters and their poten- tial to increase as a result of climate change have received greater attention in recent years. With an onset of strategies, action plans and frameworks
have been put in place internationally. At a regional level, the strategies address this growing concern about the risks of disasters and the uncertain hazards from climate change. In 2005, the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA) 2005–2015 identified the following 5 priorities for action:
This booklets consist of information on the possible causes and impacts of climate change that is affecting our natural resources such as earthquakes,cyclones,landslides.It also gives instructions and advices to people on how to get prepared the recent issues of climates changes that is recently occuring.Its all written in English and Bislama
The overview progresses from low-level concepts to higher level and establish the progression between the essential concepts for this level. One of the primary purposes of this programme is to lay the foundation for linking weather to ocean matters and Argo.
This is the overview for the third part of the SEREAD programme link with ARGO. The overview progresses from low-level concepts to higher level and establish the progression between the essential concepts for this level. One of the primary purposes of this programme is to lay the foundation for linking weather to ocean matters and Argo.

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.
