Notes that the priorities of the Fiji Presidency for COP23 include areas where adaptation and resilience actions feature prominently; stresses that, as a member of the Climate Vulnerable Forum, Fiji is a South Pacific nation that is particularly aware of impending climate issues; the country has a population of 870 000, living on 300 volcanic islands, consisting of low atolls which will be increasingly exposed to cyclones and floods, but also to disruption of agriculture due to the penetration of salt water into farmland and greater prevalence of diseases due to the rise in the mean temperature; recalls that adaptation action is an inevitable necessity for all countries if they are to minimise negative effects and make full use of the opportunities for climateresilient growth and sustainable development;
