The VanKIRAP Technical Report - Cost Recovery Mechanism and Models Appropriate for the Vanuatu Meteorology and Geo-hazards Department.
The Vanuatu Meteorology and Geo-hazards Department (VMGD) is a government department within the Ministry of Climate Change, Meteorology, Geo-hazards, Energy, Environment and Disaster Management. The department was established under the Vanuatu Meteorological Service Act of 1989. The Meteorology, Geological Hazards and Climate Change Act of 2016 superseded this Act replaced. The new Act gives direction to the operations of VMGD. Specifically, it directs the department to collect, collate and make available meteorological, climate, climate change, and geohazard data and information, including archiving such data or information, amongst other duties (Republic of Vanuatu, 2017). Furthermore, the Act allows the department to achieve its mandate of installing and maintaining a national network of meteorological observation stations and all other necessary technical installations and equipment (Republic of Vanuatu, 2017).

This Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) has been developed to support thedesign of the proposed Green Climate Fund (GCF) programme: LoCAL: Supporting ResilientIsland Communities in Tuvalu, the Solomon Islands, Fiji and Vanuatu through the Local ClimateAdaptive Living (LoCAL) Mechanism.
Climate change magnifies socio-economic development challenges and compounds the negativeimpacts of unsustainable resource management practices in the Pacific Small Island DevelopingStates (SIDS) of Tuvalu, the Solomon Islands, Fiji and Vanuatu. These SIDS are particularlyvulnerable to climate change because of their high exposure to climate hazards such as sea levelrise, tropical storms, coastal inundation and extreme weather events. While local government andcommunities are uniquely placed to address these challenges, local adaptive capacity is constrainedby limited technical capacity and financial resources. However, local governments are also bestplaced to identify, prioritise and address climate change risks owing to their knowledge of localcontexts and needs.
