This theme looks at how Fiji’s communities can remain strong, connected, and adaptable in a changing world. It’s about rediscovering the resourcefulness already woven into village, town, and island life — and using it to shape futures that are self-reliant yet cooperative.
Circular Economy: Rather than importing and discarding, we can repair, reuse, and regenerate. Many Fijian communities already practise this out of necessity; turning it into a conscious design principle can reduce waste, keep money local, and protect the environment.
Decentralised Infrastructure: When energy, food, and water systems are distributed — solar panels on roofs, micro-grids, village gardens — communities become less vulnerable to national or global shocks. Local independence strengthens national security.
City Gardens: Urban backyards, school plots, and rooftop gardens can provide more than food. They teach self-sufficiency, create micro-enterprises, and keep traditional agricultural knowledge alive even in city life.
Healthy and NCD Prevention: Non-communicable diseases remain one of Fiji’s heaviest burdens. Tackling them isn’t only a medical task but a social one: redesigning lifestyles, urban spaces, and diets so that healthy choices are also easy, affordable, and culturally resonant.
Access to Care: True resilience means no one is left behind when illness or hardship strikes. Expanding community-based clinics, mobile health outreach, and peer-support networks can bridge the gap between hospital systems and home life.
