Weather extremes and reports of disasters make it clear: Climate change is dramatically picking up speed. At the same time there is a continuing increase in carbon dioxide concentration and other climate-damaging emissions. Scientists make it clear that there is an increasingly urgent need of acting now in order to stabilize our planet Earth in a habitable condition.
It is time for action now!
Climate Action Day 2019 is going to take place on November 30th.
We are currently providing a new format as a response to the worldwide youth movement for climate protection. As soon as it gets more concrete you will find all information about participation here and on Facebook.
The annual UN Climate Conferences are an attempt to find answers to climate change and to limit global warming. The World Climate Conference 2015 in Paris was a real landmark, as for the first time politicians presented a climate protection treaty that was supposed to apply equally to all participating countries. The central aim of the Paris Agreement is to keep the global temperature rise below 2 degrees Celsius.The 25th World Climate Conference (COP 25) will take place in Chile from the 2nd to the 13th of December 2019. Diplomats, politicians and representatives of civil society will define steps for the practical implementation of the climate protection goals.
The Climate Action Day is a worldwide movement of young people who are not indifferent to climate change and global injustice. Since 2012 young people in several countries of the world start concrete actions for climate protection before every UN-Climate Conference. United we are strong for climate protection! We point up possibilities for action and learn from each other.

Global Climate Change Week (GCCWeek; http://globalclimatechangeweek.com/) aims to encourage academic communities – including academics, students, and non-academic staff at universities – to engage with each other, their communities, and policy makers on climate change actions and solutions.
In this, its fifth year GCCWeek will take place on October 14-20.
For examples of GCCWeek activities at various universities around the world in recent years see e.g. https://www.bath.ac.uk/announcements/global-climate-change-week-2018/; https://www.facebook.com/pg/AteneoGCCW/events/; https://www.facebook.com/gccwatuow/; and https://www.monash.edu/climateactionweek.

In 2016, the Ministry of Climate Change Adaptation requested Green Climate Fund Readiness Support. Implementation began in 2017 and consists of two distinctive work programmes: (1) The strengthening of the NDA, and (2) the development of a strategic engagement framework with the fund, referred to as the Country Programme. The Country Programme will form the basis for Vanuatu’s continuous strategic engagement with the GCF.
OBJECTIVE: To put Vanuatu and its National Designated Authority (NDA) on a path towards enhanced engagement with the Green Climate fund (GCF) and to improve its ownership and governance of climate finance in order to better address the real impacts of those most vulnerable to climate change.
WORKING UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF THE NAB SECRETARIAT
NDA/Focal Point: Director-General of the Ministry of Climate Change Adaptation, Jesse Benjamin (jbenjamin@vanuatu.gov.vu)

Document
Vanuatu has submitted its INDC to United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) on 29 September 2015 and the same document was endorsed and submitted as the first Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) on 21 September 2016. Although being a Small Island State with a small carbon footprint, Vanuatu has committed to a challenging mitigation target in its NDC of transitioning to close to 100% renewable energy in the electricity sector by 2030. Achieving this target would replace nearly all fossil fuel requirements for electricity generation in the country.
This NDC Implementation Roadmap (NDC-IR) aims at providing a pathway for the implementation of specific mitigation actions in Vanuatu. In the business as usual (BAU) electricity demand scenario, an increase in electricity demand from 77.9 GWh in 2017 to 100.7 GWh in 2030 is projected. This is a otal increase of 29.4%.
