A look back to 2022 and one will see the physi­cal impacts of climate change escalate in its dif­ferent geographic.

Whether it be in the highlands of Fiji’s two main islands or in the maritime division, climate change is irreversible and inevitable.

According to the Intergovernmen­tal Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Report, it states that every corner of the planet is already being affected and it could get far worse.

“It is unequivocal.” Those three clear-cut words were used in the Working Group I Sixth Assessment Report to describe the climate crisis caused by human activities affect­ing every corner of the planet’s at­mosphere, ocean, and land.
