Australian Ambassador for Environment Patrick Suckling says he was having talks with the Fijian government on how Australia and Fiji can continue to strongly work together in cooperation in addressing the global challenge of climate change.
Suckling was in the country for the UN negotiations on climate change meetings building up to COP 23 which is the governing body of the United Nations negotiations between countries to deal with climate change, which Fiji will be hosting this year.
He says one of the things Fiji will get from hosting the COP 23 is the global attention Fiji and the region will receive.
Meanwhile, the Green Climate Fund agreed in November 2015 to a US$31 million water supply and wastewater management project in Fiji.
Fiji is also developing further proposals for which it intends to seek Green Climate Fund support.
