Fiji

Fiji consists of over 300 islands, of which 100 are inhabited. Native forests cover 858,000 ha, representing 47% of Fiji’s total land area, and have historically been the main source of wood for the country. Given Fiji’s low deforestation rate over the past two decades, the country’s REDD+ efforts are focused on conservation and enhancement of forests.

Fiji's FCPF Carbon Fund Program
Program name: Emission Reductions Program of Fiji
Program location:

11 provinces, including the islands of Viti Levu, Vanua Levu, and Taveunii
Program area: 1.7 million ha
ERPA terms: Up to $12.5 million for reductions of 2.5 MtCO2e

Fiji’s ER program takes an integrated approach to emission reductions and removal through afforestation/reforestation, forest rehabilitation, improved harvesting practices, national and subnational land-use planning, and sustainable forest management. The program emphasizes the enhancement of benefits that extend beyond carbon, such as improvements to the ecosystem, strengthened food security, enhanced land tenure, and conservation of social and cultural values. Local communities will play a key role in program implementation.
