Climate Risk Profile: Fiji

The document outlines climate risks in Fiji, noting temperature increases and more severe storms. It highlights the government's policy commitments, the disproportionate vulnerability of women and girls due to structural inequality, and the role of nature-based solutions within protected areas to build resilience.

• Fiji has experienced observable climate changes since 1942, characterized by a decrease in cool nights, an increase in warm days, and rising temperatures. There has also been a documented increase in the severity of storms, cyclones, droughts, and periods of excessive rainfall.
• The Government of Fiji has established a policy framework for climate adaptation through the 2018 National Adaptation Plan (NAP), the 2021 National Climate Change Act, and the 2022 Fiji National Climate Finance Strategy.
• Structural gender inequality in Fiji increases the vulnerability of women and girls, particularly regarding their well-being and livelihoods, necessitating gender-responsive and socially inclusive adaptation strategies.
• The Climate Adaptation and Protected Areas (CAPA) initiative focuses on using nature-based solutions (NbS) to help local communities adapt to climate change and protect critical ecosystems in and around protected areas.
