FIJI Ports Corporation Limited participated in the Climate Finance Knowledge Exchange Workshop, held on October 13 and 14 at the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat in Suva.

The workshop brought together leaders from government ministries and the private sector to explore innovative pathways for financing Fiji’s climate resilience and sustainable development priorities.

Discussions focused on strengthening public–private partnerships to make climate finance more inclusive, predictable, and impactful, while aligning with national priorities.

“Through its participation, Fiji Ports reinforces its ongoing commitment to climate-smart investment and sustainable infrastructure, supporting Fiji’s transition toward a low-carbon and resilient future.”
