UNDP Pacific Office in Fiji said that a landmark coastal adaptation project has delivered 8 hectares of newly reclaimed and elevated land on Fogafale – the largest and most populated islet of Funafuti.

Funded by the Australian High Commission Tuvalu, New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, and the U.S. Department of State and implemented by the UNDP, the project (under Phase 2/TCAP 1A) provides critical protection from sea-level rise while expanding safe and habitable space for communities.
