Fiji vows to continue battle against climate change

SUVA: The island nation of Fiji on Monday vowed to continue to champion evidence-based action in leading other vulnerable nations in the fight against climate change. Attorney-General and Minister for Economy Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum said that while they could not unilaterally control global climate change, they could influence the perception of it and the global response, reports Xinhua news agency. While many recognize climate change as a true crisis, few have put in place or enforced laws required to translate ambition into action, he said, adding that as the fifth anniversary of the Paris Agreement on December 12 is approaching, it is critical that the message to the world is backed by action on domestic commitments.
