H.K.H. The Crown Princess visits Vanuatu, Fiji and Australia
Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, together with Minister for Development Cooperation and Global Climate Policy Dan Jørgensen, will visit the island states of Vanuatu and Fiji as well as Australia on the 23rd-28th. April 2023.
With the trip, the Crown Princess and the minister will focus on the consequences of climate change in the Pacific region. The visit to Vanuatu on 23-24 April thus takes place shortly after the island state has been hit by two cyclones and two earthquakes. The Crown Princess will, among other things, take part in field visits to crisis response areas and have the opportunity to meet actors who manage reconstruction projects in the wake of natural disasters.
The Pacific islands of Vanuatu and Fiji belong to the group of small developing island states that are increasingly experiencing the consequences of global climate change. As a candidate for the UN Security Council, Denmark emphasizes that the small states have a strong voice in the global climate negotiations and in matters of international peace and security.
The Pacific Islands also have a number of demographic and development challenges, including in relation to sexual and reproductive health and rights. This is a landmark case for Denmark and a focus area for the Crown Princess, who has been patron of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) since 2010.
The visit to Fiji on 25-27 April is partially implemented together with UNFPA Executive Director Natalie Kanem. Here, the Crown Princess will, among other things, focus on how destruction and evacuations in the wake of climate change lead to an increased risk of sexual and gender-based violence, and how the health system works to protect women and girls in vulnerable situations.
On 28 April, the Crown Princess and the Minister will visit Sydney in Australia, where Her Royal Highness will participate in an event with Danish business representatives who are involved in the green transition in Australia, as well as visit a number of Danish-led projects related to sustainable construction and transport.
