This publication updates the original Current and Future Climate of Vanuatu brochure published in 2011, providing useful information about Vanuatu's current climate, changing climate, and future climate. The content of this brochure is the result of a collaborative effort between the Vanuatu Meteorology and Geo-hazard Department and the Pacific-Australia Climate Change Science and Adaptation Planning (PACCSAP) Program – a component of the Australian Government’s International Climate Change Adaptation Initiative.

By incorporating climate data and information to improve the resilience of road infrastructure, SPREP is assisting Vanuatu through the Climate Information Services for Resilient Development Planning in Vanuatu (VanKIRAP) project in reviewing and updating the current version of the Vanuatu Rural Road Design Guide. The Gap Analysis Report presents findings from a global literature analysis and benchmarking effort in regard to the identification of climate resilience challenges and gaps in the current edition of the Vanuatu road design guidance.
CURRENT AND FUTURE INFLUENCE OF TROPICAL CYCLONES ON AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION IN VANUATU
This case study describes tropical cyclone impacts on agricultural production in Vanuatu, using a step-by-step approach. Guidance around conducting this type of step-by-step assessment is provided in more detail on the Van-KIRAP web portal, along with other climate impact related case studies (also termed infobytes), factsheets, visualisation tools and technical resources. This case study can be used as an example for undertaking similar climate hazard-based impact assessments.
This is the meeting minutes for NAB Climate Finance Working Group meeting No.3 held on the 8th of September, 2023.
Discussion procured within this meeting minutes is based Four importent climate finance agendas. More details, please refere to the attached meeting minutes.
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.
