Fiji
Critical minerals, policy, and the energy transition
The Energy Transition in Fiji
Fiji comprises more than 330 islands in the South Pacific and is known for its lush landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and vibrant marine life. With its major islands, Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, home to most of the population, Fiji has developed as a key economic player in the Pacific region, driven by tourism, sugar exports, and a growing sector of services and manufacturing. Tourism contributes significantly to the nation's GDP and fosters cultural exchange, promoting sustainable practices in environmental conservation and ecotourism. Agriculture remains vital, with sugar cane being the principal crop, alongside a diverse range of agricultural products contributing to the local economy and food security. Fiji is working to diversify its agricultural sector to reduce sugar dependence and increase its economic resilience against global market fluctuations and climate change impacts. Fiji's vulnerability to cyclones, rising sea levels, and extreme weather events has galvanised efforts to enhance resilience through infrastructure development, sustainable land management, and renewable energy initiatives. It aims to transition to a low-carbon economy, with investments in solar, wind, and hydroelectric power generation to reduce reliance on imported fossil fuels. The Fijian government has undergone political reforms to instil long-term prosperity.

The journey of Australasia's critical minerals
Australasia's shift towards renewable energy and sustainability is fundamentally supported by its wealth in critical minerals such as lithium, nickel, cobalt, and rare earths among others, crucial for low-carbon technologies and future innovations. Emphasizing sustainable mining and innovative policies, this strategy mirrors global efforts, notably in North America and Europe.
