MACBIO is a project that supports sustainable economies and livelihoods of Pacific Island Countries by strengthening institutional and individual capacity, to manage and conserve biodiversity in marine and coastal ecosystems. The project was commissioned by BMUB to GIZ as part of IKI, jointly implemented by SPREP, IUCN and GIZ from 2013 to 2018.
This dataset holds all MACBIO-related resources pertaining to Vanuatu as one of the participating countries. Resource herein include;
* Vanuatu Marine Atlas - interactive data viewer
* Vanuatu Marine Atlas - report
The Vanuatu NBSAP will be the main implementing strategy for the Environment Pillar of the National
Sustainable Development Goals and Policies 2016-2030 environment goals and policy objectives.
The aim of this framework is to minimise the risks from both the intentional and accidental introduction and spread of organisms with potential to have adverse economic, environmental and socio-economic impacts, including genetically modified organisms and their derivatives and processed products.
The main objective is to enhance the capacity of Vanuatu in addressing global environment management issues, particular in the thematic areas of Biodiversity, Climate Change and Land Degradation, each being addressed within its respective international convention.
This dataset holds all national reports submitted by Vanuatu to the Convention on Biological Diversity.

The Vanuatu National Forest Inventory commenced in 1989. Field survey activities were primarily undertaken through the Vanuatu dry season and were completed in 1991.
EbA is the practice of strengthening ecosystems to increase people’s ability to adapt to the impacts of climate change. The current study continues the PEBACC project in Vanuatu. It builds on an earlier PEBACC study that undertook a baseline ecosystem and socio-economic resilience analysis and mapping appraisal of the Port Vila Metropolitan area.
A mix of household surveys and community workshops were used to better understand the reliance of vulnerable communities in Greater Port Vila on their surrounding ecosystems and the services that these resources provide.
This report was prepared by Griffith University under the Pacific Ecosystem-based Adaptation to Climate Change Project (PEBACC).

A presentation by Griffith ESRAM team on the progress of Tanna Island ESRAM project.
Local communities and stakeholders were engaged throughout the process to map ecosystem types; define key ecosystem functions and services; define the economic value and identify possible threats to these ecosystem services; identify and prioritise possible EbA projects to improve ecosystem health and increase community resilience; and develop an implementation plan for the selected EbA projects.
The PAA is an integration and prioritization of the action agendas contained in the already accepted and ongoing national and provincial programs including the CRP, Business Forum Outcomes and the Rural Economic Development Initiatives (REDI) Plans.
