Fiji’s Green Growth Framework may be assisted by an unlikely source, China. The world’s largest emitter of carbon emissions has undergone a metamorphosis of sorts in the last five years. Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama and his delegation, currently on a state visit to China, might do well to learn a few lessons on the Chinese government’s ambitions to become a renewable energy superpower.
While coverage of the Prime Minister’s state visit to China tends to focus on forging military and trade ties, partnering with the Asian giant on climate and environmental issues should also be part of the high-level political dialogue.
