Call to tackle climate change to save our fisheries

Speaking at the opening of the Pacific Fisheries and Green Climate Fund workshop in Nadi today (Thursday October 17, 2018), Fiji Fisheries Minister Semi Koroilavesau said the impacts of climate change would continue to be felt in our communities, thus the need for decisions to tackle the problem while considering the local context and people’s needs

He commended the FAO for its initiative to bring fisheries into the climate finance agenda for the first time and said he hoped there would be many more.
