Foreign Correspondent: Fiji (ABC TV Thursday 6 April 2023)

Now that the country’s economy has recovered, Fiji is once again a hotspot for vacationers in search of an idyllic island setting.While the sound of waves lapping at the shore may be picturesque, for the people of Fiji, it poses a serious danger to their way of life.

Special correspondent Craig Reucassel explores the islands of Fiji this week on Foreign Correspondent to report on the country’s efforts to adapt to climate change. Craig, in his inimitable fashion, takes visitors off the beaten path to demonstrate what climate change means for people who don’t have the luxury of debating the issue. Some communities have already been relocated to higher ground, but others are fighting relocation after being placed on a government climate risk list. Many are also wondering who is financially responsible for fixing the issue.
