There will also be performances all over the city where they will highlight our own experiences with climate change with continuous audio visual presentations.

There will also be speaking events in the Fijian Pavilion, along with a broad range of other activities.

Bainimarama adds that as a symbol of our presidency, a Drua has been placed in the main foyer in Bonn, which has been floodlit for maximum impact.

He says it’s a message to the world that all 7.5 billion people on earth are in the same canoe.

The Prime Minister says we’re all affected by climate change and we all need to act.

The COP23 meeting begins next week Monday.
