I te tau 2016, i pōtitia te kaitōrangapū o Fiji, a Peter Thomson hei Perehitini o te Hui-tangata whitu tekau mā tahi o te United Nations General Assembly, hei tangata tuatahi o te Moutere o te Moananui-a-Kiwa ki te pupuri i te pou. I mea ia ki te General Assembly: "Ka kawea mai e matou he tirohanga motuhake mo te rereketanga o te āhuarangi me nga take moana ka taea e koe te tatari kia kaha taku korero mo era i te huihuinga 71". Ko Fiji te tumuaki o te Huihuinga Huringa Huarere o te United Nations 2017
(COP23), i tū ki Bonn mō ngā take mahi engari i raro i te ārahitanga o Fiji. I raro i te akiaki a Fiji, i whakarewahia e ia te "Talanoa Dialogue" hei awhina i te whakatinanatanga o nga mahi ki te whakaiti i nga tukunga o nga hau wera.
