Ecological and socioeconomic resilience analysis and mapping (ESRAM), Malekula and Pentecost, Vanuatu.

Abstract

An Ecosystem and Socio-economic Resilience Analysis and Mapping (ESRAM) process aims to generate a robust planning baseline to inform the identification of ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) options for strengthening the socio-ecological resilience of communities to the impacts of climate change and other direct anthropogenic impacts. This document provides a comprehensive report on Phase 1 activities that contribute towards such an exercise for four communities in Vanuatu: Laone (on Pentecost island) and Tenmaru, Wiawi, and South West Bay (on Malekula island).
