Vanuatu Traditional Knowledge (Indigenous Knowledge) in predicting the weather, seasons and extreme events has been practiced and passed on from generation to generation. Vanuatu Meteorology & Geo-Hazards Department (VMGD) has recognized traditional knowledge is a more sustainable way and a more accessible method of understanding and predicting the weather and climate for many community members. The VMGD has taken a step back, back to its roots, to collect Traditional Knowledge relevant to all communities and has re-tailored this information and returned it back to the community to use.

The Vanuatu Traditional Knowledge Strategy provide the strategic guidance on the work undertaken by VMGD. The strategy was developed through the support of the Vanuatu Klaemet Infomesen blong redy, adapt mo protekt (VanKIRAP).
