Climate change has been labelled the human rights challenge of the twenty-first century.
Human rights frameworks, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, among others, must become part of the solution. We all have an obligation to prevent the foreseeable adverse effects of climate change and ensure that those affected by it have access to appropriate remedies and means of adaptation.
The aim of this study is to explore how locals in Vanuatu experience the impacts of climate change and how these impacts can impinge on their human rights. This policy brief is based on the responses of 87 ni-Vanuatu participants who completed the survey between the 18-28 June 2022. Participants included 44 females, 37 males, 5 who preferred to self-identify and 1 non-response. The age range for participants was from 22 to 76 years old, with a mean age of 37 years old.

There is a significant body of research being conducted examining the role of Kastom. As this project is focusing on legal frameworks it will build on existing projects. Key components involve a literature review and conducting a series of interviews. This PhD will be by publication. This will mean that a series of academic journal articles will be written through the projects duration.
This project will add value to understanding in terms of how Customary ( Kastom) Law may be incorporated in to international environmental law pertaining to Global Climate Change Adaptation. As normative frameworks are failing to address this global threat, perhaps Kastom may hold some of the answers as to how people may be reconnected to their life supporting environments.

Project
The project builds on a survey of over 800 individual agricultural locations on the island conducted by Matthew Spriggs in 1978-80 and also on an ongoing project of the Nasaukaea Council of Chiefs of Aneityum, funded from the USA, in teaching traditional sustainable agricultural techniques to a new generation of farmers for food security purposes. During this current project considerable damage to the agricultural infrastructure of the island over the last 36 years because of extreme weather events was identified.
