PDF Climate Change The Fiji Islands Response
Fiji's real economic growth between 1993 and 1996 averaged 2.7% per year. Following the good growth of 6.2% in 1992, real GDP grew by only 1.6% in 1993 due to the devastating effects of Tropical Cyclone Kina. Real economic growth increased in 1994, resulting from good performances by the sugar and tourism sectors.

PDF Development and Climate Change in Fiji: Focus on Coastal Mangroves
While gross national income per capita of US$1,820 exceeds the average of that for lower-middle income countries (US$1,130), 25.5% of Fiji's population lives below the poverty line (World Bank, 2002). The Gini Index for Fiji stood at 0.46 in 1991, suggesting a somewhat unequal distribution of income (ILO, 2003)3. 2.

A Literature Review of Climate Change and Urban Sustainability
This paper will discuss urban sustainability in the context of. climate change and address the following research objectives: (1) to examine how. climate change is affecting urban areas; (2) to assess how cities can enhance urban. sustainability by addressing climate change; (3) to discuss resources available for city.
Newspaper coverage of climate change in Fiji: A content analysis
Media plays a crucial role in the global fight against climate change, acting as a tool for awareness, advocacy and policy change. For Fiji, this role becomes even more essential with the country's vulnerable island system facing the direct impact of current and future climate change threats. The primary aim of this study was to analyse climate change coverage in the Fiji press. The Fiji ...
Climate change in Fiji
Temperature change in Fiji, 1901 to 2020. Climate change in Fiji is an exceptionally pressing issue for the country - as an island nation, Fiji is particularly vulnerable to rising sea levels, coastal erosion and extreme weather. These changes, along with temperature rise, will displace Fijian communities and will prove disruptive to the national economy - tourism, agriculture and fisheries ...
Newspaper coverage of climate change in Fiji: A content analysis
The primary aim of this study was to analyse climate change coverage in the Fiji press. The Fiji Times, Fiji's national newspaper, was examined to identify trends in climate change coverage between January 2004 and December 2010. A quantitative analysis was initially carried out to see the volume of reports, followed by a qualitative look ...

Dengue occurs most during the wet season in ...
Climate variability and water-related infectious diseases in Pacific
Background Climate induced changes in water-related infectious disease (WRID) transmission are a growing public health concern. The effects of climate on disease vary regionally, as do key socioeconomic modifiers. Regional syntheses are necessary to develop public health tools like risk maps and early warning systems at this scale. There is a high burden of WRID in the Pacific Island Countries ...
