During an expedition to the Republic of Vanuatu in the South Pacific, Greenpeace documents the effects that climate change has already had on this remote region of the planet. Vanuatu is an area that, because of its location, is exposed to all kinds of natural disasters that are aggravated by climate change. In fact, during the team's stay, cyclone Donna, category 4 on a scale of 5, impacted the archipelago despite being out of the usual tropical cyclone season. According to experts, this type of extreme weather phenomena occurs more and more frequently and intensely as a result of climate change.
The Republic of Vanuatu is an archipelago of 83 islands in the South Pacific Ocean. In 2015 and 2016, the United Nations ranked Vanuatu as the world's most at risk country in the face of natural disasters.
Its temperature is increasing, the rainy season has decreased, the sea level has risen, and its waters have become acidified.
