The regulated MEPSL products are enforced under the bill for Energy Efficiency of Electrical Appliances, Equipment and Lighting Products Act No 24 of 2016. Most energy effeicient appliances can sometimes cost more in purchasing, but will be more energy efficient and cost effectve over time due to using less electricity in its lifespan.

Also called a Jet Stove, a Rocket Stove is an efficient and hot burning stove using small diameter wood fuel. Fuel is burned in a simple combustion chamber containing an insulated vertical chimney, which ensures almost complete combustion prior to the flames reaching the cooking surface.
Wood fuel is the oldest form of extracting heat energy and is still the most popular form of energy in the Pacific. However, because it is so readily available, we tend to use wood fuel inefficiently.

The Pacific Community (SPC), and the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation are running a consultation on the preliminary findings of the Vanuatu gender and agriculture assessment to seek feedback and views from key stakeholders in government, civil society and the private sector working in agriculture and rural development.
The aim of the consultation workshop is to validate the findings of the key respondent interviews, community based research and consultations regarding the key gender issues in the agriculture sector and effective strategies to be used for increasing the participation and empowerment of women in agriculture and rural development. This information will assist to finalise the SPC/FAO Country Gender Assessment of the Agriculture and Rural Development Sector in Vanuatu. The consultation will be facilitated by CARE International in Vanuatu.

GCF has introduced a new application process for smaller-scale projects or programmes:
Do you have a project that is ready for scaling up, and has the potential for transformation to adapt and/or mitigate to climate change?
Does it require a GCF contribution of up to USD 10 million?
Are the environmental and social risks and impacts minimal?
If so, your proposal could benefit from the Simplified Approval Process.

Vanuatu is one of the most vulnerable countries in the world to climate change and disaster risks. Located on the Pacific ‘Ring of Fire’ and in a ‘cyclone belt’, it is uniquely sensitive to a wide rangeof climate and disaster risks, including tropical cyclones, tsunamis, droughts, coastal flooding and sea level rise. Many of these hazards are expected to worsen as climate change impacts increaseover time. Unaddressed climate change will exacerbate current challenges and place pressure on the Government of Vanuatu’s ability to deliver on their sustainable development plans and policies. It will also threaten people’s livelihood opportunities, economic development and resilience to environmental risks.
To address some of these challenges, build the climate resilience of communities, and support the achievement of Vanuatu’s climate and development policy objectives, CARE International inVanuatu (CARE) and Save the Children together developed a community-based climate change adaptation project with support from the USAID Pacific American Climate Fund (PACAM). Theproject built on the success of a two-and-a-half-year community-based adaptation project supported by the Australian Aid program. The project was implemented over a 16-month period(January 2016 to May 2017) in the southern province of Tafea and the northern province of Sanma.

The Ministry for Climate Change Adaptation, Meteorology, Geo-Hazards, Environment, Energy and Disaster Management, Government of Vanuatu, contracted NIWA (The National Institute of Water & Atmospheric Research Ltd.) for the ‘Supply, delivery and installation of Automatic Weather Stations (AWS) in six different locations in Vanuatu’ (SC G02).
This work supports the Adaptation to Climate Change in the Coastal Zone in Vanuatu (V-CAP) project, funded by the Global Environment Facility, implemented by UNDP and the Vanuatu Ministry for Climate Change Adaptation, Meteorology, Geo-Hazards, Environment, Energy and Disaster Management.
The overall goal of the project was to enable the Government of Vanuatu to develop improved climate information and early warning services for the people of Vanuatu, particularly in vulnerable coastal areas of the country.
