Our islands are our heritage, and our people are the keepers of our treasured past and the voice of our future.
Vanuatu’s Minister of Climate Change Adaptation, Meteorology, Geo-Hazards, Environment, Energy, and Disaster Management, Hon. John Dahmasing Salong, emphasised this when he launched the first Vanuatu State of the Environment Report (SOE). The SOE report reflects the state of Vanuatu’s natural resources, environmental challenges, and pathways for strengthening sustainable development directions which supports national development plans and regional frameworks such as the 2050 Blue Pacific Strategy.
“This moment marks a significant milestone for our nation, as we come together to celebrate the efforts of our people and government in protecting the environment that is not only our home but also our heritage,” said Hon. Salong.
