This short animation provides an overview for Port Vila residents on what is going into their household garbage bags. By examining each item, viewers are encouraged to make small but meaningful changes that can reduce waste, save money, and minimise what ends up in landfill. The animation advises that by choosing to recycle and dispose of waste responsibly, households can contribute to a cleaner and healthier Vanuatu.

Link to the play Bae Yumi Winim Kompetesen Ia ("Let’s Win This Competition!"), developed by Wan Smolbag Theatre in partnership with the Department of Environmental Protection and Conservation (DEPC) as part of a national awareness campaign on waste management. The play uses humour, music, and culturally resonant storytelling to explore everyday waste issues in Vanuatu. The story follows local characters navigating the challenges of plastic pollution, waste burning, and littering—all while competing in a fictional “cleanest community” contest. Through laughter and local language, the play delivers practical messages on sorting waste, community action, and the dangers of poor disposal practices.

PacWastePlus assisted Vanuatu on design of a National Product Stewardship Scheme, and disaster waste planning and response actions. This video provides a summary of the activities completed.

In July 2022, a Ni-Vanuatu team of scientists from Eco Lifelihood Development Association, Department of Environmental Protection and Conservation DEPC, Department of Forests-Vanuatu, The University of the South Pacific & Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme - SPREP with communications support from Savvy Vanuatu went to west Malekula to conduct a Biological Rapid Assessment (BIORAP) on the plant and animal species found in the area.

In this video, Frazer Alo, Malampa Environment Extension Officer, and Thomas Doro, the Acting Herbarium Curator at the Department of Forestry, explain the process of surveying plants in the field and why this is important.

To improve understanding of the impact of communities on their natural ecosystems, land use surveys conducted in the three Key Biodiveristy Areas (KBA) of West Malekula: Wiawi, Bamboo Bay and Tisiri Lagoon.

Ornithologist Andrew Morris joined the Biological Rapid Assessment (BIORAP) team to Malekula to lead the bird study in Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) in July 2022. Bird species were identified by listening to bird calls, audio recordings, visual sighting, and photographs taken with special bird cameras. In the KBAs, the key bird species found include the Vanuatu Kingfisher, Vanuatu Streak Fantail, and Vanuatu White Eye.

The purpose of this video is to explain how current and projected sea surface temperature and ocean chemistry may affect the fisheries sector and marine life around Vanuatu.

The purpose of this video is to explain how current and projected climate variability and change may affect infrastructure and water security in Vanuatu. Video produced by CSIRO for the Climate Information Services for Resilient Development in Vanuatu (VanKIRAP) Project.

The Vanuatu Climate Future Portal is a gateway to climate information services and tools providing users with the science, mapping, data videos and other resources to plan their adaptation actions, The web portal will be the primary operational tool used by VMGD to tailor national and provincial climate change projections to support planning, resilient development and climate change adaptation in Vanuatu
