Department of Environment

About us

To promote the sustainable use and development of Fiji’s environment and efficient implementation of policies, legislation and programs. To fulfill Fiji’s Obligation under regional and international environment related conventions and treaties.
Our values, which will guide our behavior and decision.

Fiji still retains a largely unspoilt environment that has many positive physical and cultural attributes which it can draw upon a sustainable basis for its ongoing development.

But in recent years their exploitation has not been sustainable as they have been ‘mined’ for quick economic return without effective environmental and social considerations and regard for the future.

Together with other governmental departments, municipal bodies and NGO’s the Department of Environment will continue to promote increased public awareness of the importance of conserving and protecting Fiji’s national environment.
