Indigenous Approaches Revolutionize Climate Finance Governance for Better Development Benefits
Climate finance governance in Fiji's energy sector is being examined using postcolonial tools to uncover imbalances in climate finance. The dysfunction in climate finance is partly due to the dominance of certain knowledge systems. By incorporating Indigenous approaches like talanoa and 'iluvatu, governance innovation can be recognized, leading to better climate-aligned development benefits. Including cognitive justice in climate finance governance can promote epistemic inclusivity and improve outcomes for Fiji and other nations affected by climate change.
