SPC: Climate change adaptation project kicks off in Fiji provinces

A regional restoration of ecosystems services and climate change adaptation project aimed at increasing the resilience of Pacific Island countries and territories has started in the Kadavu and Ra provinces of Fiji.
The RESCCUE project, implemented by the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC), is being piloted in seven sites across Fiji, French Polynesia, New Caledonia and Vanuatu.
