Pacific Response to Disaster Displacement urban case study: Port Vila, Vanuatu

Vanuatu has the world’s highest disaster risk and its capital, Port Vila, has been ranked the world’s most exposed city to natural hazards. Combined exposure and vulnerability to hazards, exacerbated by rapid urbanisation, translate into repeated and widespread displacement. 

This paper draws upon the results of a recent study to examine the drivers, patterns, and impacts of internal displacement linked with disasters in the greater Port Vila area and surrounding communities.
