Ocean warming may well turn out to be the greatest hidden challenge of our generation. This report represents the most comprehensive review to date on ocean warming. To build up the report, leading scientists from around the world were invited to join with colleagues to contribute individual chapters.  It contains many recommendations from the scientists on capability gaps and research issues that need to be resolved if we are to tackle the impacts of ocean warming with greater confidence in the future.

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

Definition of Subdivision
For the purpose of this policy, a subdivision is defined as the division of an existing registered lease or registration of a new lease into two (2) or more lots by way of subleases, derivative leases or community titles. Such developments are still subject to the written consent of the Director of Land Surveys per the provisions of Section 12(a) of the Land Leases Act (CAP 163).

Land - The National Geospatial Data Policy 2020-2030

 Natural Resources and the Environment  Land forms and cartography

Vanuatu is a country emerging in the geospatial arena with the most progress
happening over the last ten (10) years. The collection and collation of geospatial data
at the national level has been fragmented thus far. The national geospatial data policy
is a step forward to address this and create an enabling environment for
centralization, coordination, management and dissemination of geospatial data.
Vulnerability to climate change and disaster risks poses a threat to resilience and
