The VMGD strategic development plan 2014 - 2023 shows a clear linkage with the Millennium Development Goals
The information in this publication, and research conducted by PACCSAP, builds on the findings of the 2013 IPCC Fifth Assessment Report, and uses new emissions scenarios and climate models.
A report providing a legal context to the various issues relating to REDD+ in Vanuatu
This research, conducted by researchers at the University of Technology, Sydney, focused on how the immediate
humanitarian needs following disasters are met by various stakeholders, both in the affected country and those offering support from outside.
Roads connecting local communities in North Epi Island, Vanuatu, are highly vulnerable to the effects of extreme weather and coastal hazards. To help address this issue, PACCSAP commissioned a Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) to objectively compare the merits of different options to improve road access.
Severe and widespread damage was worst on the larger islands of Tanna, Erromango, and Efate, while there was less damage on the smaller islands of Aneityum, Aniwa, and Futuna in the southern region. Eleven fatalities were subsequently confirmed in Tafea and Shefa Provinces.

For use in discussing workflows for environmental data
This is the report for the Reefs at Risk Revisited analysis. Reefs at Risk Revisited is a high-resolution update of the original global analysis, Reefs at Risk: A Map-Based Indicator of Threats to the World’s Coral Reefs. Reefs at Risk Revisited uses a global map of coral reefs at 500-m resolution, which is 64 times more detailed than the 4-km resolution map used in the 1998 analysis, and benefits from improvements in many global data sets used to evaluate threats to reefs (most threat data are at 1 km resolution, which is 16 times more detailed than those used in the 1998 analysis).
The increased demand for high quality products in export markets, coupled with Pacific Island Countries (PICs) national desire to protect the environment, biodiversity and family farming structures, lead to assume that organic agriculture could offer good prospects for PICs development. Besides market opportunities, organic agriculture could increase PICs food self-reliance and thus, contribute to reducing the alarming trend of dependency on food imports, as well as improving nutrition.
