For more information, contact Litia BaleilevukaAs climate activists, ever felt that your faith has come under attack? Can you be a climate activist AND a christian? What does the bible say about climate change? How can I use my faith as a tool to help my community be better prepared?
On Tuesday 27th of August, the Emalus Christian Fellowship is putting together a day conference from 9am-3.30pm to talk about how our fight for climate justice actually makes more sense when Jesus is at the center. We invite all members to be a part of discussions that will hopefully equip you with the tools you need to maintain your faith as a climate activist.
The event will be held at the USP Emalus campus during the day. For those who are not USP students or staff, you will need to register and pay a small fee of 500vatu as this is a student led event and the funds will go towards catering for the participants.
If you are working during the day, don't worry - there is a public lecture from 7-9pm at the International Christian Church in Bellevue. For further information, the flyer is attached to this email and you can email me on this address.

You are all invited to attend this public lecturer facilitated by Dr. Nabil Ahmed on Environmental investigation.
.
Civil society groups, journalists and citizens today have expanded access to digital tools and open source data to expose state and corporate crime. In a post truth world, forensic truths acquired by non state actors are increasingly admitted in legal contexts and used for advocacy purposes. This public lecture will explore one such practice, where architectural techniques and spatial analysis are used to document environmental crimes and human rights violations, such as on the underreported conflict in West Papua.
DATE: Friday, 16 August 2019
TIME: 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM
VENUE: USP Emalus Conference Room
BIO: Nabil Ahmed is a transdisciplinary scholar and writer. He is the founder of INTERPRT, a project that investigates environmental crimes and advocates for ecocide. He has written for Third Text, Candide: Journal for Architectural Knowledge, MIT Press, Routledge, Scientific Reports, Archeological and Environmental Forensic Science, among others. He holds a PhD from the Centre for Research Architecture where he is affiliated with Forensic Architecture. He has taught and lectured extensively in the UK and internationally. He is a postdoctoral fellow in the faculty of architecture and design at Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).

The purpose of this workshop is to work with relevant stakeholders to identify labour market needs, future workforce trends and skills gaps that provides an important basis from which training and development plans can be developed, to target priority sectors. Recognising the importance of aligning its training programs to labour market needs, the Australia Pacific Training Coalition (APTC) is currently conducting a Pacific-wide Labour Market Assessment (PLMA) to collate relevant existing and new data to formulate a national skills profile by occupation, qualification and outcome. The Australia Pacific Climate Partnership (APCP) is conducting a regional Climate Skills Audit. Climate Change and Disaster Resilience is high on Vanuatu’s national sustainable development agenda, and employers are increasingly demanding skills and capacities that enable adaptation to impacts and meet low carbon targets. The APCP Climate Skills Audit will analyse the current and future climate labour market in the region, and identify ways that ni-Vanuatu may better access climate employment opportunities.
APTC and APCP will endeavor to combine data collection and analysis where feasible, to enable more efficient consultation with key country partners. Supported by Vanuatu’s Department of Labour, a joint APTC-APCP workshop will be held on Wednesday 21st August to improve coordination and contribute to planning for future/ongoing labour market analyses that support the National Human Resource Development Plan and achievement of the goals of the NSDP Peoples Plan.

Dear Colleagues,
This mail serves as a formal invitation to you or a representative of your organisation to attend a 1-day workshop on the impacts of multiple hazards (e.g. cyclones, volcanic eruptions) on island communities in Vanuatu. This will be held in the Vanuatu Christian Council offices, Port Vila, on Thursday 22ndAugust.
This workshop is conducted by the Anglican Church of Melanesia, the Vanuatu Christian Council and the University of Southampton, UK.
The main purpose of the workshop is to discuss and explore how recent natural hazards have been transmitted into local communities. Through this we hope to better understand the pathways by which multiple hazards affect people’s lives, and what can be done to help improve them after a disaster happens.
And what the short and long-term future might look like for Vanuatu. For example, how economic, political and industrial choices might lead to positive or negative changes in the future. The workshop will explore how Vanuatu’s choices might influence the impact that natural hazards have on different communities.
Click here for more information
The workshop is free, and refreshments will be provided during the day.
We will work with all participants to draw up a policy note that could be used to help guide future decisions, and to help guide discussions about how Vanuatu will face a changing climate and future natural hazards.
We hope you can join us for the day. If you or a representative can attend, please let Selwyn Leodoro pvncanglican.region@outlook.com or Joses Togase dgs@acom.vu know so we can arrange refreshments and lunch.
Thank you.

Climate change is the defining issue of our time and now is the defining moment to do something about it. There is still time to tackle climate change, but it will require an unprecedented effort from all sectors of society. To boost ambition and accelerate actions to implement the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, UN Secretary-General António Guterres will host the 2019 Climate Action Summit on 23 September to meet the climate challenge. The Summit will showcase a leap in collective national political ambition and it will demonstrate massive movements in the real economy in support of the agenda. Together, these developments will send strong market and political signals and inject momentum in the “race to the top” among countries, companies, cities and civil society that is needed to achieve the objectives of the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals.

Weather extremes and reports of disasters make it clear: Climate change is dramatically picking up speed. At the same time there is a continuing increase in carbon dioxide concentration and other climate-damaging emissions. Scientists make it clear that there is an increasingly urgent need of acting now in order to stabilize our planet Earth in a habitable condition.
It is time for action now!
Climate Action Day 2019 is going to take place on November 30th.
We are currently providing a new format as a response to the worldwide youth movement for climate protection. As soon as it gets more concrete you will find all information about participation here and on Facebook.
The annual UN Climate Conferences are an attempt to find answers to climate change and to limit global warming. The World Climate Conference 2015 in Paris was a real landmark, as for the first time politicians presented a climate protection treaty that was supposed to apply equally to all participating countries. The central aim of the Paris Agreement is to keep the global temperature rise below 2 degrees Celsius.The 25th World Climate Conference (COP 25) will take place in Chile from the 2nd to the 13th of December 2019. Diplomats, politicians and representatives of civil society will define steps for the practical implementation of the climate protection goals.
The Climate Action Day is a worldwide movement of young people who are not indifferent to climate change and global injustice. Since 2012 young people in several countries of the world start concrete actions for climate protection before every UN-Climate Conference. United we are strong for climate protection! We point up possibilities for action and learn from each other.

In 2016, the Ministry of Climate Change Adaptation requested Green Climate Fund Readiness Support. Implementation began in 2017 and consists of two distinctive work programmes: (1) The strengthening of the NDA, and (2) the development of a strategic engagement framework with the fund, referred to as the Country Programme. The Country Programme will form the basis for Vanuatu’s continuous strategic engagement with the GCF.
OBJECTIVE: To put Vanuatu and its National Designated Authority (NDA) on a path towards enhanced engagement with the Green Climate fund (GCF) and to improve its ownership and governance of climate finance in order to better address the real impacts of those most vulnerable to climate change.
