work &
2. organizing cross- sectoral
engagement.
3. have the experience doing that.
1. have good health people there you
2. have a good cross-sectoral mix right
from the very beginning,
3. budget across organizations and
institutions is really difficult to do
well.
4. how much cross over there really is
between the sectors,
5. value to be added to that from
working more closely together,
SOPAC
1. adaptation measures – we
recognize that CC is happening
2. we try to plan for it in a risk
assessment and a risk.
3. we look at CC As something that
we should managed
1. strengthen the link with the Climate
office, Meteorological office, NDMO,
2. behavioral change,
3. a lot of existing issues are blamed
down on climate change,
4. people are leaving those behind and
are running after CC now

Clear definitions - Climate change concepts
Collaborate projects – with Clear objectives
Involve the community
Baseline studies on CC in communities
Lessons learnt – share findings and
methodology
 CC affects all, cannot be controlled, everybody’s
responsibility  ALL TAKE PART
RECOMMENDATION
9. Stakeholders to identify the pressing:
 Priority CC issue in their organisation
 CC issue
 CC & Health issue
CONCLUSION
• The major challenges in the climate change
health research in Fiji are:
– lack of a cross-sector, interdisciplinary
collaborative approach in research and
– inadequate budgetary allocation to health sector
and health research,
– lack of awareness about the climate change and
its health hazards among the general populations.
– deficiencies in surveillance system,
CONCLUSION
• Understanding climate change and human
health requires:
– locally relevant knowledge on climate change.
– More resources are needed to provide climate
change information at a local scale.
– POLICY FORMULATION – evidence based
• More research collaboration and sharing of
data
