Hi everybody,

how is Vanuatu effected by a potential sea level rise? Very strongly like Tuvalu or Kiribati? And are there any differences between the many islands in Vanuatu concerning this problem?

There are no inhabited atolls in Vanuatu, only high volcanic islands.

The answer is - not affected at all.
