Fiji’s pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters have once again made it a top destination for tourists looking for a tropical paradise. However, for the locals, the beautiful shoreline represents a threat to their way of life due to climate change.
On this week’s episode of Foreign Correspondent, special guest reporter Craig Reucassel travels through the Fijian islands to see how the country is combating the effects of climate change.
