Climate Risk Profile: Fiji

This climate risk profile for Fiji outlines observed climate changes, including temperature increases and more severe extreme weather events, and emphasizes the need for gender-responsive, nature-based solutions (NbS) for adaptation, particularly around protected areas.

• Fiji has experienced observable climate changes since 1942, characterized by a decrease in cool nights, an increase in warm days, and a rise 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 launch of its first 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 regarding their well-being and livelihoods, necessitating a gender-responsive and socially inclusive approach to adaptation strategies.
• The Climate Adaptation and Protected Areas (CAPA) initiative utilizes nature-based solutions (NbS) to assist local communities in adapting to climate change and protecting biodiversity within and around select protected areas in Fiji.
