Government highlights impact of community-led climate action.

Minister stresses legal compliance and community consultation amid waste crisis

Environment Minister says Fiji cannot afford delays as work begins on its Seventh National Report to the Convention on Biological Diversity.

Minister Lynda Tabuya says foreign interest in Fiji’s waste sector is welcome, but strict legal compliance and public consultation are non-negotiable as review of the $1.4b Vuda-Saweni proposal nears.

A new programme led by the Asian Development Bank and the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change is strengthening women’s leadership in climate action across Fiji.

The ambassador pointed to the project’s history in Australia, where a similar proposal was rejected after years of scrutiny.
