Under the UNFCCC Climate Finance refers to local, national or transnational financing drawn from public, private and alternative sources of financing that seeks to support mitigation and adaptation actions that will address climate change.

Under the Climate Change Act 2021 Climate Finance means money available for or mobilised by State or non-State entities to finance climate change mitigation and adaptation programmes, actions and interventions.

Role of the Climate Finance Unit 

The Climate Finance Unit plays a central role in mobilising resources, coordinating national stakeholders, and guiding Fiji’s access to international climate finance. Climate finance is cross-cutting between mitigation and adaptation, supporting national priorities in both areas, as well as resilience building and community protection.
