Climate Watch App

Vanuatu develops Climate Watch App

Vanuatu is testing the ground-breaking app that looks to provide a solution to data collection challenges faced by Pacific Island countries.

It will act as traditional knowledge indicators for climate.

The Pacific Island nation is made up of 80 islands stretched out over 1,300 kilometres across the central Pacific ocean.

Travel to some of the outer islands to collect data is a challenge, and because the country's current observation and monitoring systems is in paper form, postage costs and return time delays are also issues from it.
