General

The Republic of the Fiji Islands comprises of over 320 islands. The two largest islands, Viti Levu and Vanua Levu make up three quarters of the land areas and 70% of the population reside on Viti Levu. Fiji’s economy is driven by tourism, agriculture, fisheries, manufacturing and the financial sector. Climate change has become a growing concern for Fiji’s economy and the livelihood of its people. Key challenges facing Fiji include: • Vulnerability to external shocks, including climate change and financial crises. High dependence on imported fossil fuels. Declining terrestrial and marine biodiversity, resulting from unsustainable land management and coral reef degradation. Difficulties in the provision of sufficient infrastructure and services in both urban and rural contexts. Fiji has a huge potential in green growth, including increasing renewable energy generation capacity, and moving toward more sustainable transportation services and technologies. In 2014 the Government adopted the Green Growth Framework for Fiji to plan for implementation of green growth across the economy.

Objectives

Support Fiji to align its national targets under the National Development Plan with its NDC targets under the Paris Agreement and to plan for implementation. Provide technical assistance support to help Fiji implement its green growth plans as elaborated in the Green Growth Framework and National Development Plan
