Fiji recognises this reality, as it lies on the front line of adverse climate change impacts and will be facing some of the most severe climate-related challenges in the coming decade. These range from prolonged droughts, changes in the hydrological cycle resulting in intense floods, and extreme weather events, to rising sea levels and its resultant saltwater intrusion and loss of habitable land. This has already led to partial and complete relocation of six climate vulnerable communities, with many more regions in the country being threatened by similar consequences.
