From communities to climate action in Vanuatu

Thursday 8 October 2026 9:00 AM – 9:45 AM Ballroom 2

About this session

This session centres story telling from indigenous voices at Government, civil society and community level – presenting best practices and enablers to locally led adaptation within Vanuatu. It is a practical, evidence-led session that facilitates genuine dialogue, drawing on practices and lessons, from the Vanuatu Community Based Climate Resilience Project. Panellists will explore how locally led adaption looks like at the community level, bringing government priorities and climate science together with traditional knowledge and community-identified needs. Join a grounded conversation about the realities of turning climate commitments into inclusive, locally led action.
