The Tuvalu Coastal Adaptation Project (TCAP), funded by the Green Climate Fund and Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, has reached a major milestone with UNDP Pacific Office in Fiji officially handing over 7.3 hectares of reclaimed land to the Government of Tuvalu.

According to TCAP, this reclaimed land will provide critical space for housing, infrastructure, and other essential services, helping to protect Tuvalu’s vulnerable communities from the impacts of climate change, such as sea-level rise and coastal erosion.
