The British High Commission in Suva, Fiji, has partnered with organisations in Pacific Island countries to deliver climate finance projects.
The project will last two years and aims to address climate change, environmental damage and biodiversity loss.
The Investment will be managed through the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) and is supported by the UK’s Small Island Developing States Capacity and Resilience Programme (SIDAR).
The partnership will support Pacific Island countries to pursue a low carbon future. It will also place technical advisors into government institutions to access and deliver climate finance.
Commenting on the news British High Commissioner, Dr. Brian Jones, said: “The UK has nothing to teach the Pacific about resilience, but we have experience of working with large-scale global finance and have heard from Pacific partners that support and advice to access climate funding, absorb and implement it, is critical to progress in this area.
“We are excited to work through GGGI to offer technical expertise directly to Government institutions, to build sustainable capability to spend climate finance available here in the Pacific.”
