The National Climate Outlook Forum Traditional Knowledge and Vanuatu Rainfall & NetworkBackgroundTraditional Knowledge have informed Vanuatu communities response to climate variability and extreme weather events for many decades. Traditional knowledge is an important component of Vanuatu communities’ adaptive capacities. The abilities of individuals, households and entire communities to plan for and act to address climate extremes and environmental changes in rural Vanuatu is often dependent on their local environmental knowledge and implementation of natural resource management and disaster risk reduction strategies.
Vanuatu National Climate Outlook Forum (NCOF) for 2021 will focus on Weather, Climate Variability and Change and Traditional Knowledge. The proposed theme for this year’s NCOF is:“Traditional Knowledge of Weather, Climate and Ocean, is essential to Community Resilience"

The energy sector is the source of around three‐quarters of greenhouse gas emissions today and holds the key to averting the worst effects of climate change, perhaps the greatest challenge humankind has faced. Reducing global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to net zero by 2050 is consistent with efforts to limit the long‐term increase in average global temperatures to 1.5 °C. This calls for nothing less than a complete transformation of how we produce, transport and consume energy. The growing political consensus on reaching net zero is cause for considerable optimism about the progress the world can make, but the changes required to reach net‐zero emissions globally by 2050 are poorly understood. A huge amount of work is needed to turn today’s impressive ambitions into reality, especially given the range of different situations among countries and their differing capacities to make the necessary changes. This special IEA report sets out a pathway for achieving this goal, resulting in a clean and resilient energy system that would bring major benefits for human prosperity and well‐being.
