Key insights
- WWF has established specific 2030 nature-positive impact targets for Fiji across four categories: Planet, People, Prosperity, and Peace. These include placing 10,000 km2 of the Great Sea Reef under effective and sustainable management, ensuring fisheries management provides sustainable food for 500,000 people, protecting $170 million per year in coastal infrastructure from climate change, and achieving a 50% reduction in conflict or crime events in the offshore fisheries sector.
- WWF's operational priorities in Fiji include protecting and restoring 22,000 hectares of mangroves, improving climate change and tropical storm resilience for 5,000 people, and securing fisheries transparency policy commitments.
- The region faces interconnected challenges, including high vulnerability to climate change, high nutritional and economic dependence on marine systems, and the unsustainable exploitation of natural marine resources by global powers.
