The capital cites of the South Pacific are experiencing rapid urbanisation pressures as increasing numbers of people migrate to the primary cites either in search of employment and greater access to healthcare and education, or as a consequence of environmental push factors.

The current study continues the PEBACC project in Vanuatu. It builds on an earlier PEBACC study that undertook a baseline ecosystem and socio-economic resilience analysis and mapping appraisal of the Port Vila Metropolitan area. The methodology approach adopted provided for mainly desk-top review work, supplemented by four key workshops (including one in Port Vila), interviews with Port Vila stakeholders, and brief field inspection in Port Vila.
