Minister for Environment, Parveen Bala says this year’s Environment Day theme is a call to inspire people to better connect ourselves with Mother Nature.
The theme for this year's World Environment Day is ‘Connecting People to Nature’.
While speaking at the launch of National Environment Day celebrations in Lautoka, Bala says people should experience and better appreciate the very many blessings that nature provides for us.
Bala also announced the roll out of the climate change action plan for Fiji’s towns and cities.
He says the related checklist and models will be launched by the Department of Local Government and Environment.
Bala also urged the people to live sustainably as it is about doing more and achieving better with less.
