Sectoral Climate Information Services
Climate Observation Stations
Climate Change Science Services
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 adaptation actions. The Vanuatu Climate Futures Portal was developed by the GCF Vanuatu Klaemet Infomesen blong redy, adapt mo protekt (VanKIRAP) project.
Climate Mapping Tool
This interactive visualization tool allows you to select climate variables, greenhouse gas emissions pathways, time periods and locations to generate customised maps and datasets. You can visualise Area Council and Islands that are of interest to you.
Agriculture Mapping Tool
This interactive tool provides maps of current and future regions climatically suitable and diseases for Kava, Coffee, Cocoa, Taro and Yam using climate information services
Infrastructure Mapping Tool
This interactive visualisation tools allows you to map areas including roads and infrastructure inundation now and in the future (2030, 2050, 2070 and 2090) under various emission pathways
Fisheries Mapping Tool
This interactive visualisation tools allows you to map areas including Fisheries, Mangroves and Protected Areas. Users can also map historical and future marine heat waves
Tourism (Sea Level Rise) Mapping Tool
This interactive tool allows you to visualise sea level rise (current and future) for selected tourism pilot sites: Lonnoc Bamboo Beach, Lonnoc Beach Lodge, Lonnoc Ocean View Bungalows, Lonnoc Eco Beach Bungalows, Towoc Beach Bungalows, Champagne Beach and Towoc Beachfront Bungalows. Users can also visualise 10, 50 and 100 year return interval
Water (Extreme Flooding) Mapping Tool
This interactive mapping tool allows you to visualise extreme flooding areas in Efate (Mele Catchment) and Santo (Sarakata-Luganville Catchment) for 10, 50 and 100 year return intervals for low, medium and high emission scenarios.
