This report explains the stakeholder consultation process undertaken and the scope, need and roles of stakeholders identified during the consultation sessions.

This report presents information about tropical cyclone (TC) associated economic cost (hereafter referred to as cost just 'C') over Vanuat, including historical averages and projections as they relate to "global and local warming levels". The report uses datasets and information from Vanuatu Government agencies and presents the information in new and more salient ways, with more context and detail: thereby making the information more relevant to decision-makers for application at a sectoral level, The report examines historical TC related cost-intensity relationship for Vanuatu and estimates the mean cost per TC and annual total cost under a warming climate by the mid and late century.

The main climate hazards for Vanuatu include tropical cyclones with high winds and wave energy, heavy rainfall resulting in flooding, extended periods without rain causing drought, rising sea levels threatening coastal environments and property, as well as sea temperature increase and ocean acidification impacting highly valuable coastal ecosystems and resources (including coral reefs, seagrass and fisheries.

this report overviews the outcomes of and in-country work programme, undertaken by NIWA to address the scope of work for supply, installation and commissioning of hydrometric monitoring date management and processing systems to improve flood warning systems in Vanuatu, including the provision of TIDEDA and hydrometirc monitoring training of DoWR staff.

The purpose of this report is to explain the background, methodology development and application of the framework. The report introduces this project and how this RCRAF aligns with the existing Van-KIRAP climate information products and outputs, provides a background to the rapid climate risk assessment.

Maps are based on all currently available rainfall and temperature station data for the period 1991–2020.

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

The benefits of the portal include the enhancement of the delivery and uptake of climate change science information in sectoral and community development, as well as applying of climate change projections to support Government of Vanuatu risk assessments across all sectors and in six provinces of Vanuatu.

The Vanuatu Climate Futures Portal is a gateway to climate information services and tools, providing users with the science, mapping, data, videos and other resources to plan their ad-aptation actions. The web portal will be the primary operational tool used by VMGD to tailor national and pro-vincial climate change projections to support planning, resilient development and climate change adaptation in Vanuatu. It includes sector case studies for Agriculture, Fisheries, Tourism, Infrastructure and Water to demonstrate how updated Vanuatu Climate Change projections using CMIP5 and CMIP6 model outputs are utilized by climate sensitive sectors to underpin decisions

The training was a mix of theory, delivered in a classroom setting using PowerPoint presentations and printed handouts, combined with applied (hands-on) training to reinforce the theory and develop confidence using the new RTK GNSS surveying hardware for mapping tasks. To maximise the hands-on training time for individual trainees, Man goes mapping brought additional RTK GNSS survey hardware from Australia temporarily for the training course.
