@elonmuskADO No! The name Twitter sounded way better.

@kelvinfiji Members of the Coalition Government were opposing the same when Fiji First Govt was hiring expats to fill local jobs. Now, the Coalition is doing exactly the same. Was this the change people voted for? Because there seems to be no difference from the previous Govt.

A milestone achievement for me as I mobilized NZ$ 20 million of flexible #climatefinance for Fiji. Today, New Zealand and Fiji have signed the Partnership Arrangement for #ClimateChange Flexible Finance Support. This funding was announced by MFATNZ in March 2023.

#COP27 agrees on TOR for Santiago Network on #LossAndDamage but hold the celebrations! Technical support won't arrive to affected communities until after 2025 because they have to setup advisory board, select host institution, establish a secretariat & operating procedures.

I met the Waste Recyclers Fiji Ltd team recently to hear of the work they are doing in supporting more sustainable waste management options, including creating jobs for informal waste pickers. We need more private sector partnerships to tackle the supply chain waste problems.

What a week it has been! I met @jacindaardern, the New Zealand 🇳🇿 Prime Minister and organised her visit to CePaCT at @spc_cps Pacific Community as she announced NZ $10mil to the conservation of Pacific crop seeds impacted by climate change. #PIFLM51

[Krishneil Narayan @Krish_Narayan]

I joined @jacindaardern, the New Zealand 🇳🇿 Prime Minister, during her tour of the CePaCT seed bank which plays a key role in ensuring Pacific regional food security by providing climate resilient crop seeds to farmers. She announced NZD $10mil climate funding to CePaCT #PIFLM51

I am representing New Zealand 🇳🇿 @ the 2-day #PCCMHS Regional #ClimateMobilityDialogue2022 🗣️ to review and discuss the zero draft of the #Pacific Regional Framework on #ClimateMobility. NZ supports the Pacific Climate Change Mobility & Human Security Project.

I had the pleasure of meeting @topnigel, UK's COP26 High-Level Climate Action Champion. Apart from our climate change conversations during his Fiji visit, the high point of the meeting was our unplanned similar Bula Shirt attire #BulaDiplomacy @ukinfiji 13 April 2022.

Entire G77 express their disappointment to the Presidency that the language on #LossandDamage in the cover decision includes no reference to the G77 proposal on the #GlasgowFacilityonLossandDamage Join our fight @cop26 ⁦@AOSISChair⁩ ⁦@FijiAG⁩ ⁦@milagrosdecamps⁩

[Loss and Damage Collaboration (L&DC) @LossandDamage]

@AlokSharma_RDG the #G77 has proposed one way for #COP26 to get back on track via a #GlasgowLossandDamageFacility. We know you're busy, so to help you understand why addressing historic responsibilities for the #ClimateCrisis is important here is a #LossAndDamage #StarWars meme:

[Krishneil Narayan @Krish_Narayan]

I joined https://t.co/QjWlh6CU3z's community session with its members in Sri Lanka to talk about #COP26-UN #ClimateChange Conference starting in #Glasgow today and systems thinking for SDG implementation. It was a pleasure sharing experiences from the Pacific region - 01 Nov 2021

[Krishneil Narayan @Krish_Narayan]

I was asked to speak at the Climate Mobility and Children Symposium to help UNICEF and IOM better understand how children and young people are affected by migration and displacement linked to climate change. Here's the report released June 2021. See pg. 24

[IOM Climate Action @IOM_MECC]

@IOMSriLanka joined hands with @SLYCANTrust to explore the evidence on human mobility and climate-related policies and processes and to commemorate the upcoming World Environment Day by highlighting the nexus of #migration #environment and #climatechange.

[Fossil Fuel Treaty Initiative @fossiltreaty]

31/ @Krish_Narayan: it is important to raise awareness among activists on the links between international relations, economy, exploitation and the role of the US in the global #climatepolicies. These are not separated silos

[Fossil Fuel Treaty Initiative @fossiltreaty]

19/ @Krish_Narayan: in the Pacific Islands, internal displacements are already happening. In the region, people don't want to relocate in another country, it is not an option for us anymore.

[Fossil Fuel Treaty Initiative @fossiltreaty]

16/ @Krish_Narayan: an important problem are #fossilfuels subsidies.... imagine what we could do is those #subsidies where shifted to #climatefinance

[Fossil Fuel Treaty Initiative @fossiltreaty]

14/ @Krish_Narayan, the Director and Principal Consultant at Sustainable Future Consultancy in Fiji + @jessymusaazi, climate justice activist from Kampala, Uganda: the US are still far behind and even though this is a first step, this is not enough and the gap is still huge

[Krishneil Narayan @Krish_Narayan]

In the context of climate crisis, as indigenous peoples see their human rights and wellbeing tightly bound to the wellbeing of the environment, the wider population’s human rights are inextricably linked with those of indigenous peoples.
