ABOUT 71,000 Fijians on Vanua Levu could benefit from a $1.62 million Ecosystems-based Climate Adaptation Project (ECAP).
The project, a targeted three-year development intervention to build local socioeconomic resilience to climate change, would be implemented by nongovernment organisation Live & Learn Environmental Education Fiji with funding from the European Union.
Speaking at the project launch, EU ambassador for the Pacific Sujiro Seam said building climate resilience in the Northern Division with ECAP would provide local communities with a welcome source of income in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis.
“It is fully in line with the European Green Deal, which remains the top priority of the European Union,” he said.
Mr Seam also said the project was consistent with the EU approach which was to build strong partnerships between governmental authorities, civil society organisations and local communities.
