 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.

Climate is always changing, and on a variety of time scales. Rarely uniform, climate is inherently
variable and often punctuated by extreme events. Being prepared for the consequences of climate
change, variability and extremes is a strategic policy option, once chosen by the Republic of Vanuatu.
Adaptation to climate change, variability and extremes represents an important challenge for the
sustainable development of society. As understanding of the climate system continues to deepen

Agriculture practices and traditional knowl-edge have been passed down through many generations of Ni-Vanuatu and are particular to different areas of the country. However, these methods may need to be shifted. Predicted changes to rainfall, temperature, storms and sea level linked to climate change may result in changes to planting, fruiting and harvesting times, pests and diseases, location of gardens, soil fertility and other inputs of agriculture products.

La Nina known El Nino is also an event that occurs when cooler than sea surface tempretures form along the equator in the pacific ocean, especially in eastern to central pacific.

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.
