Climate change is a big concern for Fiji. It has a direct impact on these island states because of their geographic location. Therefore, the government saw it fit to address climate change as a health concern and developed this plan as a response. The document was based on WHO’s Operational Framework for building climate resilient health systems. The plan identified the most vulnerable/susceptible communities to climate change, monitoring climate-sensitive diseases and risks, researching and enhancing these tools to allow for a timely response and addresses the financial aspect, discussing how to mobilize available resources and possible proposals to obtain further funding.
