Approach to Climate Change

Le changement climatique est l'un des sujets dont on parle le plus dans le monde parce  qu'll affecte le quotidien de tous les habitants de la planete, y compris ceux qui vivent dans les iles du pacifique. Les scientifiques disent que lechangement climatique pourrait rendre les saisons chaudes plus longues et amener beacoup de pluies durant la saison humide.

Technical Need Assessment (TNA) for Vanuatu is funded by the UNDP partering with the GIZ. The objective of the TNA is to firstly identified priority sectors in the mitigation processes. The NAB has approved of the energy and waste to be considered for this TNA.

The energy sector is the source of around three‐quarters of greenhouse gas emissions  today and holds the key to averting the worst effects of climate change, perhaps the  greatest challenge humankind has faced. Reducing global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to  net zero by 2050 is consistent with efforts to limit the long‐term increase in average global  temperatures to 1.5 °C. This calls for nothing less than a complete transformation of how we  produce, transport and consume energy.

Vanuatu is unique among the Paris Agreement parties that have produced Low Emissions Development Strategies (LEDS) and Long-Term Strategies (LTS). Vanuatu is already net negative for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Vanuatu’s large forest area removes more than 10 times the GHG emissions generated from human activity.

This poster highlights the benefits for small island-based tourism businesses in Vanuatu to utilize renewable energy.  It is jointly prepared by the Department of Tourism, the Department of Energy & GIZ.

The Government of Vanuatu recognises that effective institutions and the inter-relationships between them are at the heart of its ability to respond to growing climate and disaster risks. To this end, a comprehensive analysis of climate and disaster risk governance is undertaken.

In response to the growing opportunities from agritourism, the Government of Vanuatu of Vanuatu (Government of Vanuatu) established an Agritourism Steering Committee (ASC) and with assistance from the New Zealand Aid Programme, initiated preparation of the Vanuatu Agritourism Plan of Action (VAPA).

The VAPA provides a framework for enhanced integration of tourism and the productive sectors including agriculture, fisheries and livestock. An Action Plan is included within this document showing priorities for implementation over the next five years.

This Vanuatu Strategic Tourism Action Plan 2014-2018 (VSTAP) provides a high level analysis of tourism in Vanuatu. The VSTAP is divided into a Situation Analysis (section 2) and an Action Plan (section 3). The Situation Analysis identifies 5 key priorities that, if adopted, will straight away positively influence Vanuatu tourism. The Action Plan identifies 6 key areas and their objectives and goals to enable future tourism development. There are 44 actions to be implemented during the lifetime of this plan (5 years) to help achieve these objectives.
