Official handing over of reclaimed land to the Government of Tuvalu

The Tuvalu Coastal Adaptation Project (TCAP) and partners celebrate the hand over of reclaimed land.

October 29th. Today, we celebrate a significant achievement in the fight against climate change.

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.

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.

This is a testament to the power of international cooperation for climate action.
