Climate Change Division – GIS Platform

The Government of Fiji has set ambitious plans to support its most climate-impacted communities. Geospatial applications, as decision-support tools, are helping selected and prioritised pipeline projects, with the evidence-based rationale needed to pursue innovative financing solutions.

The Climate Change Division has launched this GIS platform that provides a collection of decision support tools, including maps, apps, and data layers supporting Fiji’s climate change streams.

This includes CCD applications presenting Fiji’s critical work on Planned Relocation and Displacement of Climate-Impacted Communities, adaptation initiatives including ongoing efforts on Nature-based Seawalls with the Ministry of Waterways, E-bus, Fiji Rural Electrification Fund, and other web applications supporting climate resilience.

This initiative is part of a long-term, dedicated, and nationally embedded support from the UNOSAT Division of the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) within the Climate Change Division. The platform maps projects and activities in collaboration with implementing ministries, through the support of the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD) programme on “Strengthening Capacities in the use of geospatial information for improved resilience in the Asia-Pacific and Africa”.
