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.

This factsheet provides essential information on integrated climate risk concepts and terminology specifically related to hazard-based impact assessments for sectors in Vanuatu

This factsheet provides essential information on greenhouse gas emissions and how they are considered in climate hazard-based impact assessments

This factsheet describes climate models and how they are used in climate hazard-based impact assessments

This factsheet provides technical information on LiDAR data and capability in Vanuatu and how remote sensing technology can be applied to generate data and information for climate hazard-based impact and risk assessments

This factsheet provides technical information on Sofar Spotter buoys and how they are used in Vanuatu for ocean monitoring to generate realtime observational data and information on key physical climate and environmental conditions such as wave height.

River catchment restoration are efforts to support the restoration of the Tagabe River and study the possibility of creating corridors for biodiversity. PEBACC+ Project will support tree planting, buffer zone creation, erosion and flood control, community awareness and mobilisation, waste management and governance. Special attention will be given to monitoring and maintenance of the trees planted.

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.
