The French government is committed to the fight against climate change in the Pacific and hopes programmes such as the eParticipatory Observers Project (ePOP) will shed light on the impact of this global phenomenon in the region.
Ambassador of France to Fiji Sujiro Seam made the assurance during a visit to the journalism newsroom at the University of the South Pacific in Suva last week to observe the progress made at the conclusion of an ePOP workshop, which focused on producing short videos about the perceptions and impact of climate and environmental changes on Pacific Island populations.
Seam said ePOP targeted young people and gave them an opportunity to share stories on climate change and environmental issues taking place in their communities.
“I am very happy that we have this programme because it is not only beneficial for the youth but it also focuses on climate change,” he said.
