From , 4:03 pm on 22 December 2016

A new interactive map showing how the sea levels will rise in Vanuatu as a result of climate change can now be accessed online.

The Vanuatu coastal risk website which was publicly launched by NGIS Australia last week hopes to raise awareness and inform decision makers about the future risk to coastal communities in Vanuatu.

NGIS principal consultant, Nathan Eaton, told Koroi Hawkins there has been a very positive response to the project in Vanuatu from the government and NGO level right down to local chiefs.
