Savusavu Chamber of Commerce (SCC) has come up with what it believes is a world-leading environmentally sustainable ‘Blue Model Town’ plan
Chief executive officer Karl Smith said the Savusavu Blue Town model specifically targets developing island and coastal communities that lie within these areas of acknowledged tropical marine biodiversity.
“The blue town model will showcase how the world can help protect this genetic bunker,” Mr Smith said.
“The global community has a vested interest in protecting our island nations and the diverse genetic resources of our tropical reefs and ecosystems.”
He said Savusavu, with its incredible natural beauty and diverse community, will highlight and showcase Fiji’s whole-hearted commitment to COP initiatives to not only reduce carbon emissions, raise climate change awareness, but also implement real and tangible solutions to preserve and protect our tropical marine biodiversity.
