Goals and Strategies of the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, 2025 – 2030
Fiji’s Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MECC) presents its strategic roadmap for the next five years. This plan outlines our commitment to environmental protection, climate resilience, and sustainable development through focused priorities, strategic enablers, and collaborative action.

- Identifies internal reforms needed for effective service delivery
Strengthen access to data, information, communication, and public engagement to drive behaviour change and accountability.
Enhance engagement and empower communities, civil society, and the private sector to take action in protecting natural resources and managing climate risks.
Strengthen environmental safeguards, standards, regulatory compliance, and waste management systems, while supporting the transition to a low-emission, circular economy.
Institutionalise coordination platforms, increase climate and environmental finance flows, and improve alignment of partner initiatives with national priorities.
Improve governance systems, workplace culture, and capability development to deliver efficient, effective, and transparent services.
How the SDP Was Developed
The SDP is informed by:
Extensive consultations with communities, government, and partners
Workshops held in 2024 and 2025
Internal assessments of MECC strengths and service gaps
National surveys and public submissions
Alignment with Fiji’s Vision 2050 and NDP 2025–2029
It represents collective input and shared responsibility.
Implementation & Monitoring
The SDP is implemented through:
- Annual costed operational plans
- Unit work plans

MECC uses a Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning (MEL) system to track progress, measure impact, and support continuous improvement.
Financing the SDP
MECC will secure resources through:
