Fijian Sustainable Development Bond Framework 2022
This new Framework is the first of its kind developed by a Small Island Developing State.
The Fiji Government has developed the Fijian Sustainable Bond Framework to enable the issuance of thematic bonds related to Fiji’s sustainable development ambitions. This Framework builds on the experience and Green Bond Framework of the Fiji Sovereign Green Bond issuance in 2017, with the intention of issuing other thematic bonds, starting with a Blue Bond in 2022.
The Framework creates a robust taxonomy for green, blue, and social projects. It is expected to help Fiji better communicate its sustainable development finance priorities with bilateral, multilateral, private and philanthropic investors.

Fiji Climate Change Directions
Changes to long term climate patterns have increased the intensity and frequency of weather-related events. Fiji is highly exposed. The impacts of climate change are being felt by the citizens of Fiji. Without action at all levels, there will be increasing social, economic, and environmental costs.
Prime Minister Rabuka and the Coalition Government of Fiji is committed to fight climate change. Fiji will continue to lead at the regional and international level on climate change action, promote an ocean of peace and sustainability for the blue continent.
The Coalition Government will deliver measures that will cut more emissions, deploy clean energy and new technologies, implement adaptation projects to protect Fijians, and build resilient and prosperous communities.
