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.

Pacific Islanders are at the forefront of climate change; experiencing its varying impacts on coastlines, biodiversity, economy and most importantly on livelihoods. The conservation of mangroves and associated ecosystems is a key natural adaptation strategy and mitigation measure to climate change. Mangrove ecosystems provide goods and services highly valued by the people of the Pacific. However, this unique ecosystem faces continuing threats from overharvesting, degradation and land reclamation.

Established in 2000, the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF) is a global
leader in enabling civil society to participate in and influence the conservation of
some of the world’s most critical ecosystems. CEPF is a joint initiative of l’Agence
Française de Développement (AFD), Conservation International, the European
Union, the Global Environment Facility (GEF), the Government of Japan, the
John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and the World Bank. CEPF is
unique among funding mechanisms in that it focuses on high-priority biological
Vanuatu Marine Ecosystem Service Valuation SUMMARY & Final report
This study,conducted in 2015, aimed to determine the economic value of seven marine and coastal ecosystem services in Vanuatu. The study forms part of the broader MACBIO project (Marine and Coastal Biodiversity Management in Pacific Island Countries and Atolls) that aims to strengthen the management of marine and coastal biodiversity in Pacific island countries.

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.
The first of the overall MESCAL project’s four outcomes is to produce national baseline information about climate change scenarios, use and values of mangroves and associated ecosystem.
This review aims to identify recent climate change projections (particularly sea level) and assess their likely impacts on mangroves and associated ecosystems and community livelihoods for the five MESCAL pilot countries.
