He says that through this, Fiji has set an example to other climate-vulnerable nations in finding new creative ways to raise climate finance.

NFP Leader, Professor Biman Prasad says that green bonds can be very fashionable to investors all around the world that would like to be part of green initiatives and be part of this global agenda.

However, Prasad says that some of the green initiatives are becoming mainstream activities for any government adding that Fiji needs to build on climate resilience infrastructure.
