The Pacific island region includes 22 countries and dependent territories1comprised of
approximately 200 high islands and 2,500 low islands and atolls.2 Although the total land
area is small at about 90,000 km2, these islands cover a large expanse of ocean with the
Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs) totalling over 27 million km2.3 The total population of the
region is less than 10 million, with Papua New Guinea alone contributing over 6 million.4

The Tabwemasana Research Project was conducted from 2010-2011 in the Republic of Vanuatu on
the island of Espiritu Santo (Santo) which is the largest in the nation’s archipelago of 83 islands. The
study derived its name (with permission from the local Chiefs) from the highest mountain in
Vanuatu, Mt Tabwemasana, located on the island of Espiritu Santo. The total population of Vanuatu
is 243,304 and Santo is 34,388 (VNSOa 2009). The nation’s population is largely constituted of young
people with 41% of the population 0 - 15 years of age (MICS 2007). The study was funded and
supported by an Australian Government Endeavour Research Fellowship Award and conducted in
partnership with Vanuatu Earth Care Association (VECA) and the University of the South Pacific
(Luganville campus) after attaining a research permit from the Government of Vanuatu. The project
had the endorsement and involvement of the local Chiefs and Councillors. It was conducted on
behalf of the community for Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu, who actively conserve healthy and sustainable
social, cultural, economic and environmental systems.
Document
This guide is designed to support a community-based or local level management and adaptation planning
process. It can be used to explore the non-climate change and climate change threats within a defined
geographic area or community in which there is a clear governing structure and decision-making process.
The area can be large or small as long as the planning team involved in facilitating the process has decisionmaking
authority or has the support from the governing authority of the area. For example, the area might
be defined as a small coastal community that has land and sea tenure. Or, the area might be a small region
of the coastline with several communities that is governed by a central agency or group. However, this
tool is not designed for urbanized or densely populated areas with complex social and governance systems.
