Vanuatu traditonal knowledge: National indicator booklet

The Traditional Knowledge Climate and Weather Indicator Booklet was successfully compiled by the VanKIRAP project for the Department of Meteorology and Geo-Hazards Department (VMGD) under the Ministry of Climate Change (MOCC) in 2023. The booklet is a finished product under the Traditional Knowledge component of the VanKIRAP Project which compiles all the traditional knowledge indicators of weather and climate in Vanuatu purposely to educate the people of Vanuatu on the importance of using our own traditional knowledge and skills as tools to help us, as part of our early warning actions during disasters events. 

The Vanuatu National Traditional Knowledge Booklet will be a platform, amongst other tools, providing accessibility around Vanuatu for local indigenous community. This booklet is an educational resource for all communities to return to their cultural roots and to continue practicing a more sustainable and easily interpreted material that will help them with simple but resilient decisions to safeguard them during any forecasted weather and/or climate event.
