Fiji calls for carbon emitters to take responsibility


By Halitesh Datt, Fiji TV

10 July 2013, Nadi, Fiji - Fiji has once again called for major carbon emitting nations to take responsibility for their actions.

With climate change threatening the very existence of small island countries in the region, Fiji Prime Minister Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama says the Pacific is at the receiving end of historical activity by developed countries.

As a preparatory meeting for the 3rd International Conference of Small Island Developing  States got under way today, climate change will be at the forefront of discussions.

With Pacific countries like Kiribati already preparing for the relocation of its people, Bainimarama says developed nations should assist the region in bearing the costs of such an exercise.
