This case study assesses the exposure to and economic impacts of extreme sea level driven inundation for coastal buildings and roads to the Mele and Sarakata catchments in Vanuatu.

The Vanuatu Meteorology and Geo Hazards Department (VMGD) together with VanKIRAP showcased a powerful model for climate resilience - one rooted in community empowerment and the fusion of traditional knowledge with modern tools.

The Vanuatu Meteorology and Geo-Hazards Department (VMGD) provides short (weather) and medium (Climate) term forecasts and warning to the people of Vanuatu. However medium terms forecasts (Climate Information Services) struggle to find its intended destination and audience, resulting in the practical application of Climate Information Services at the community level being limited if not nonexistent.

VanKIRAP's inaugural quarterly newsletter for 2025 - a platform to celebrate milestones, foster connections and champion resilience in the face of climate change. Together with the Vanuatu Meteorology and Geo-Hazards Department (VMGD), VanKIRAP continues to support transformative advancements that empower communities and enhance preparedness across our beautiful archipelago.

Conduct a comprehensive inventory of the current state of all planted tree seedlings and other floral species within the specified areas (39 hectares (ha) in the UNELCO compound within the Tagabe river lower catchment and 33 ha in Aku Farm within the Tagabe river upper catchment).

The training participants were guided on the basic tools for working with spatial data, all the participants were able to complete the hands-on exercise and pro-duced basic maps, some of which are displayed in the appendix. These maps are evidence to demonstrate participants practical understanding to produce GIS outputs and its key elements.

The explainer provides a summary description of how climate model output is processed and used for informing the Van-KIRAP sectoral impact assessments. Best-prcticed projections science dictated the need to utilise multiple lines of evidence to inform hazard-based climate impact assessments.
