A climate change activist will represent Fiji and those from the Pacific affected by climate change at the Global Climate Action Summit to be held in San Francisco next month.
Kelepi Saukitoga from Narikoso, Ono, Kadavu, has been selected as a Climate Change Trailblazer.
GIZ Pacific co-ordinator James MacBeth said Mr Saukitoga’s actions have aided in bringing attention to the stark realities of climate change impacts on coastal Fijian communities to relevant authorities and stakeholders. The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH or GIZ in short is a German development agency that provides services in the field of international development co-operation.
It mainly implements technical co-operation projects of the Federal Ministry for Economic Co-operation and Development (BMZ).
