Halitesh Datt, Fiji TV reporting from Doha, COP 18
Interview with Savenaca Kaunisela - Permanent Secretary, Ministry of i taukei Affairs.
4 December 2012, Qatar, Doha - Following
successful first week of negotiations with world leaders and lessons learned at
the United Nations COP 18 in Doha, Fiji's Ministry of itaukei Affairs
now plans to enhance its awareness and education programme for the itaukei
people in the country.
Plans
are afoot to establish a unit within the ministry that will mainstream all the
aspects of climate change awareness and education programme for the itaukei
people.
Permanent
secretary for the itaukei affairs, Savenaca Kaunisela says the ministry has
taken a lead role in educating itaukei people on the impacts of climate
change..however still needs to be done.
Kaunisela
says more concerted effort is also needed to involve itaukei people in climate
change mitigation and adaptation projects.
The launch
of a climate change glossary in itaukei language two weeks ago was a major leap
forward for the ministry in reaching out to the community level.
