This CBIT project will also inform and guide the formulation of cost-effective policies in the areas of GHG mitigation as well as budgetary allocations for climate action. This can include responsive energy planning, reducing reliance on energy imports and freeing government resources, mitigating conflicts over scarce resources, improving the national and local economies, improving the health and wellbeing of the population and empowering communities and citizens. Enhanced coordination between government ministries, private sector, civil society, academia and communities ensures that sustainable development benefits are brought into focus. Thus, these initiatives will be in line with the convention obligation, national sustainable development needs and the SDG No. 13 to combat climate change and its impacts. The project is also associated with global benefits through capacity development mainly in the areas of GHG inventories and emission reductions, climate change vulnerability and adaptation understanding. In the absence of this project, there will be an uncoordinated approach in data collection and analysis, which will prevent effective implementation of the NDC and climate-smart projects programmes and policies. The National Climate Transparency System will also enable the tracking of sustainable development impact based on the overlaps with the mitigation actions. This process will improve the dialogue between sectors and relevant stakeholders, encouraging wider environmental, social and economic benefits with measurable indicators.

Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.This project will deliver direct and indirect benefits to communities and individuals across Fiji, specifically to communities on Viti Levu and Vanua Levu as well as maritime island communities within Kadavu and Lau Provinces, as well as the Ringgold Islands. The project will work with communities to maintain ecosystem services provisioning and address a range of compounding issues to improve human well-being and socio-economic considerations in Fiji. Critically, the project will specifically invest in livelihoods development in a gender responsive manner to address increased unemployment cause by the pandemic, largely due to the halting of global and national tourism. First, the SAMBIO project will aim to improve income-generation, sustainability and diversification of local livelihoods within target communities in high biodiversity areas under outcomes 1.1, 1.2, and 2.2. The project will include resource owners, women’s groups and resource users. In terms of livelihoods improvement, SAMBIO activities will aim to identify the most promising and sustainable approaches to be pursued for each site, informed by the natural capital – livelihoods nexus in a conservation enterprises approach context, which will identify key entry points for generating sustainable income while reducing or stopping environmentally harmful activities, together with market and supply chain analysis, and consultations with community and private sector stakeholders. The project will then provide targeted training and capacity building for communities, women’s groups and entrepreneurs in business management and planning, financial management, operations and bookkeeping, and compliance requirements for small businesses in alignment with Fiji law and taxes taking into account gender relations and vulnerable groups. The project will further provide technical assistance and training to communities and entrepreneurs for product development, value-addition and processing, packaging and branding, and finally, private sector partnerships. The project will also identify and build supply chain and marketing partnerships with private sector operators in Fiji, to better connect local producers to the domestic market. Through these activities, the project will aim to ensure sustainability of GEF investments and improvements in income generation within each site. Project livelihoods activities will specifically ensure and target inclusion of women and women’s groups, by focusing at least partially on sale of products developed by women, or income-generating activities in which women play a leading role, in a conservation enterprises approach context. In this regard, the project will deliver an economic empowerment strategy to address existing gender inequities, which might affect project outcomes and their post-project continuation, while also ensuring active gender inclusion across all resource management and planning activities. The project will measure socio-economic benefits in each relevant site (according to outcomes) through community surveys conducted before and after project interventions, in a gender disaggregated fashion. These surveys will also assess additional community benefits, including improved resilience and reduced vulnerability of island communities to climate change impacts resulting from the maintenance and improvement in ecosystem service provisioning from habitat protection and management. The transition of income generation from environmentally harmful to environmentally neutral or positive activities will also be assessed. Adaptation benefits will be a critical contribution of the project to all targeted communities, and will be measured using a robust suite of adaptation monitoring tools developed by CI in tandem with other globally adapted tools and gender markers. Additional benefits will include improved food security resulting from better management of coastal areas and traditional fishing grounds to climate change and anthropogenic threats, as well as improved sustainability of agricultural production within multiple terrestrial sites. Finally, by strengthening community-based resources management plans and skills within each site through targeted training and community facilitation, the project will secure continuation of a multitude of ecosystem services benefits, including: freshwater provisioning, recreation, cultural and spiritual services provided by nature, soil and land stability, and a range of other benefits, which have direct and indirect beneficial effects on the socio-economic functions of the target communities and the country as a whole.Global Environment Facility CI Department of Environment, Ministry of Environment CEO Endorsement Date Actual Implementation Start Date Expected Completion Date ' Fiji Nakorotubu -17.5668 178.3405 Greater Tomaniivi -17.6142 178.0184 Greater Delaikoro -16.5873 179.3141 Natewa-Tunuloa -16.5829 179.8178 Nakauvadra Range -17.4363 178.1242 Ringgold Isles -16.2500 -179.4166 Lau Seascape -18.2048 -178.7925 Kadavu -19.0181 178.1972 +![cdata[Environmental policy and administrative management]]+ +![cdata[Biodiversity]]+ +![cdata[Site preservation]]+ 255791 CI Department of Environment, Ministry of Environment 7255491 GEF XI-BRIDGE-6385676864-11078 Global Environment Facility Accelerate the introduction of electric mobility in Fiji to reduce transport emissions and move towards sustainable development of the transport sector. Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency.In conjunction with the substantial CO2 emission reductions, a significant reduction of the emissions of air pollutants such as NOx, SOx, PM and CO will be achieved in urban areas, as electric vehicles will not generate any such pollutant emissions locally. Thus, the project will also contribute to improved urban air quality, better human health and reduced related deaths. In addition, the project will contribute to significant cost reductions resulting from reduced expenditures on fuel imports. Therefore, the project is also expected to improve energy security, since the share of local energy resources used in the transport sector will grow and dependency on imported fuels will decrease. Since petroleum fuel price volatility is partly buffered through taxation, the project also reduces the volatility in tax income. This project will focus on batteries used for electric vehicles, including issues with respect to the re-use, recycling and safe disposal of used EV batteries. Thus, the project not only looks into the mitigation of GHG and air pollutant emissions but also anticipates emerging environmental issues stemming from a large-scale market introduction of electric vehicles and seeks to develop strategies and policies to mitigate the associated risks. This project will carry out study on the options to link-up with better integration of variable renewable power in grids for electric vehicle recharging. To that end, the project may result in additional GHG emissions reduction stemming from the possible enabling role of electric mobility for the up-scaled integration of variable renewable power.Global Environment Facility UNEP Ministry of Public Works, Meteorological Services and Transport CEO Approval Date Actual Implementation Start Date ' Fiji Suva -18.1416111111111 178.441144888888 Nadi -17.8 177.41666944444 1787500 GEF XI-BRIDGE-6385676864-11718 Global Environment Facility Improved rural livelihoods and climate resilience through sustainable blue and green production, improved market access and biodiversity protection.
