Fiji: Workshop strengthens Nature-based Solutions through knowledge exchange

The Kiwa WISH+ programme, in partnership with WCS Fiji, has launched a Peer Learning and Knowledge Exchange Workshop bringing together community representatives, government agencies and partners from the districts of Bureta, Lovoni, Namalata, Dawasamu, Nakorotubu, Kubulau, Dama and Bua.

The workshop aims to foster dialogue, practical learning and collaboration around experiences from the Climate Adaptation and Protected Areas (CAPA) and Kiwa WISH+ projects. Through interactive discussions and hands-on activities, participants are sharing lessons learned, reflecting on progress, identifying challenges and exchanging successful approaches implemented in their respective communities.

Discussions will also help identify concrete pathways to strengthen Nature-basedSolutions nationwide, while deepening the integration of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) and GEDSI principles—gender equality, disability and social inclusion—into scientific approaches for climate adaptation and ecosystem-based management.
