Fiji

In Fiji, the Climate Finance Capacity Support Programme (CFCSP) is providing a range of in-line officer and adviser roles to the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MECC) to strengthen cross-government coordination, accessing climate finance, planning, delivery and reporting of climate action. The CFCSP is also working with the Department of Transport to develop a decarbonisation strategy and master plan for the transport sector (aviation, land and marine) and to update Fiji’s transport policies to reflect its climate change priorities.

Fiji is also a recipient of New Zealand’s Country Flexible Finance, with NZD20 million in climate finance provided as direct budget support so that the Government of Fiji can allocate funds to their climate action priorities.
