TWENTY representatives from eight Pacific Island Countries held a series of meetings in Nadi last week to discuss access to climate change finance.
According to a statement from the Pacific Community (SPC), the workshop was organised to advance the implementation of the USAID Institutional Strengthening for Pacific Island Countries to Adapt to Climate Change and DFAT/GIZ Climate Finance Readiness in the Pacific projects.
"Climate change finance is a cross-sectoral issue which requires whole of government approaches for timely access and implementation of climate change finance," said Saitofi Mika, secretary to the office of the Kiribati President.
