The Ministry of Foreign Affairs through its Climate Change Unit will utilise the Miss World pageant as a platform to address the effects of climate change in Fiji.
The Ministry joined other stakeholders in launching Fiji’s bid for the global pageant and highlighted that government will use every avenue possible to raise awareness on the dangers of climate change to small island states.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs official Ruci Mafi said such initiatives will promote efforts to address climate change.
“When we look at climate change we focus on the impacts that have affected our most vulnerable communities especially those that live along the coastal areas,” she said.
All finalists will undergo training and a representative will be chosen to represent Fiji at the 63rd International finals in Indonesia.
