Current and future climate of Vanuatu

This publication updates the original Current and future climate of Vanuatu brochure published in 2011. The information in this publication, and research conducted by PACCSAP, builds on the findings of the 2013 IPCC Fifth Assessment Report, and uses new emissions scenarios and climate models. This brochure contains a summary of climate projections for Vanuatu.

Specifically, this brochure details the growing climate-related hazards that Vanuatu must contend with. Projected changes to Vanuatu's climate include increasing temperatures, rising sea levels, ocean acidification, less frequent rainfall, and stronger but less frequent tropical cyclones.
