This policy briefing paper presents the key findings, recommendations and strategic implications from the National Policy Framework Assessment on Nature-based Solutions for Coastal Resilience and Forestry Sectors in Fiji. It provides a concise overview of Fiji's readiness to implement and scale Nature-based Solutions and highlights priority actions needed to strengthen policy integration and implementation.
The briefing outlines Fiji's strong enabling environment for Nature-based Solutions, including existing commitments to ecosystem-based adaptation, ridge-to-reef management, community stewardship and Indigenous resource governance. It also summarises the major challenges identified through the assessment, including fragmented institutional responsibilities, limited coordination mechanisms, financing barriers, and the need for stronger monitoring, evaluation and benefit-sharing arrangements.
Designed for policymakers, government agencies, development partners and decision-makers, the briefing provides a practical summary of priority recommendations and an implementation roadmap to support the mainstreaming of Nature-based Solutions within Fiji's forestry, coastal management, climate adaptation and development planning frameworks.
