The Adapting to Climate Change and Sustainable Energy (ACSE) Solar, Biogas and Climate Early Warning System project is funded by EU-GIZ through the Ministry of Climate Change and implementing by the Department of Energy.  The Soar component of this focuses on installation of solar freezer and provide lighting in a fishing community. 
The main outcome of this project is increasing access to sustainable, and affordable energy in rural communities

Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) Study Rural Electrification in Vanuatu

 Climate Change  Mitigation  Energy  Renewable energy

Vanuatu is an island nation located in the South Pacific Ocean with its territory spread over more than 80 islands and approximately 234,000 inhabitants. Its energy sector is characterized by a high dependency on fuel imports and with its population distributed over 65 islands, spread over more than 12,000 square kilometres, distribution of energy services is both technologically challenging and costly. This results in very low electrification rates and high fuel prices.

The Government of Vanuatu has decided to develop an oceans policy, which aligns with recommendations from the
Commonwealth Secretariat.
This report summarises the main findings1 of an analysis and assessment of 69 instruments of legislation and
subordinate policies and plans that are relevant to management and use of Vanuatu’s territorial waters and therefore
relevant to the development of the national oceans policy. The review of Vanuatu’s legislation, policies, strategies and

Net Zero by 2050 A Roadmap for the Global Energy Sector

 Energy  Emission reduction  Emissions  Low carbon energy  Renewable energy  Renewable energy targets

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.

The topographic and bathymetric LiDAR survey for Vanuatu was developed by the PACCSAP program in collaboration with the NAB. It included high priority areas of Efate, Malekula and Espiritu Santo, as well as some of the smaller islands nearby. Airborne surveys flown between September and November 2012 captured the data for Efate and Malekula Islands. The survey for Espiritu Santo, which was initially delayed due to poor weather conditions, was completed in May 2013.

As part of the preparedness towards any forthcoming disasters and continuous monitoring of the agricultural sector, the RRU in collaboration with FAO and DARD have established an early warning early action system that is run by the Risk and Resilience Unit (RRU) of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Forestry, Fisheries and Biosecurity (MALFFB) to the agricultural extension officers. The department of agriculture has a total of 45 extension officers that are based on all of the 6 provinces covering almost all the area councils of every island.

The annual cyclone season for the Republic of Vanuatu commences in November and extends to the end of April the following year. While cyclones can develop outside of this period, their cyclical nature increases the predictability of such occurrences and thus enables pre-planned measures to be formulated beforehand and community preparedness programmes to be put in place and promulgated.
