Opposition Leader, Inia Seruiratu is calling on policymakers, media stakeholders, and community leaders to leverage radio as a driver of climate action, fostering dialogue on adaptation strategies and promoting sustainable solutions for future generations.
While speaking on World Radio Day, Seruiratu says on this day, let us reaffirm our commitment to using this powerful platform to amplify the voices of those most affected by climate change and work towards a more resilient Fiji.
The theme for this year’s World Radio Day is "Radio and Climate Change: A Powerful Tool for Climate Action."
Seruiratu says he recognizes the indispensable role of radio as a medium for informing, educating, and mobilizing communities, especially in the face of climate change.
He says in a time when climate-related disasters threaten our livelihoods, radio remains a critical tool for early warnings, disaster preparedness, and spreading awareness on sustainable practices.
Seruiratu adds that radio continues to be a lifeline for many Fijians, particularly in rural and maritime communities where internet access is limited.
He says it serves as a bridge between scientific knowledge and local action, ensuring that climate information reaches those who need it most.
He further emphasizes the need for investment in radio broadcasting infrastructure to enhance climate resilience.
