Fiji is calling for stronger global climate action at COP31 in Antalya, Türkiye, ensuring that the voices of communities affected by rising sea levels, stronger storms and the loss of ancestral land are heard.

Minister for Environment and Climate Change and Head of Delegation, Lynda Tabuya, reaffirmed this commitment during the delegation’s first meeting, acknowledging the dedication of Fiji’s negotiators in advancing national and Pacific climate priorities.

The delegation, comprising Government representatives, civil society organisations and climate activists, is working alongside like-minded countries to push for meaningful commitments that protect vulnerable communities.

Tabuya urged the delegation to remain united and determined, building on the momentum of the Pacific-led Pre-COP31 in Fiji to secure outcomes that make a real difference in people’s lives.
