Vanuatu
Environmental policy

In 2018, Vanuatu banned all use of plastic bags and plastic straws, with more plastic items scheduled to be banned in 2020.

In 2023, the governments of Vanuatu and other vulnerable to climate change islands (Fiji, Niue, the Solomon Islands, Tonga and Tuvalu) launched the " Port Vila Call for a Just Transition to a Fossil Fuel Free Pacific ", calling for the phase-out of fossil fuels and the 'rapid and just transition ' to renewable energy and strengthening environmental law, including introducing the criminalization of ecocide.
