Vanuatu Loss and Damage Policy

Vanuatu's Loss and Damage Policy, published by the Department of Climate Change in 2025, provides a broad overview and an implementation roadmap for measures to improve loss and damage management under climate change. It establishes a taxonomy of loss and damage events; provides theoretical links to climate change mitigation, adaptation and disaster risk management; highlights priority research areas, particularly around quantifying impact projections; incorporates local action and traditional knowledge; and aims to center its country programme into the future around a single Loss and Damage Fund.
