With an emphasis on environmental preservation and community resilience, Beyond the Bilibili was founded in 2023 and has its headquarters in Suva. The staff of the organization, which is headed by a board, has experience working in national, regional, and international settings.
Island communities have developed coping mechanisms to help them adapt to external shocks based on cultural traditions and customs, natural resources, and community cohesion. Indigenous communities can sometimes operate using different socio-economic models, such as barter systems, communal ownership, and collective labour. Recognizing and respecting these models is not just a matter of cultural sensitivity but a prerequisite for designing development models that are both culturally appropriate and socio economically viable.
Developing strategies to blend modern solutions with traditional practices and participating in information sharing to develop solutions is crucial for ensuring cultural differences are considered and localized.

Bamboo, a vital part of Fiji's culture and life, has been used for centuries in construction, rafts, and fishing traps. The industry's full potential can contribute to Fiji's Sustainable Development Goals, including quality education, affordable energy, decent work, economic growth, industry innovation, sustainable cities, responsible consumption, climate action, life on land, and partnerships for the goals. It may also contribute to achieving no poverty and zero hunger, as well as achieving sustainable cities and communities.
The goal of this initiative is to determine the extent of plastic pollution in Fiji and to evaluate various technologies for upcycling or recycling plastics in order to reduce the burden of plastic pollution while also recognizing the value of plastic as a resource that can be retained in the economy. Plastic accounts for 10.7% of Fiji's
The goal of this initiative is to determine the extent of plastic pollution in Fiji and to evaluate various technologies for upcycling or recycling plastics in order to reduce the burden of plastic pollution while also recognizing the value of plastic as a resource that can be retained in the economy. Plastic accounts for 10.7% of Fiji's annual waste stream, or 14,875 tonnes per year. Nearly 25% of this plastic waste is released into the environment or stored in a long-term reservoir other than a landfill.
Commercial sources account for the majority of plastic waste (46%), followed by households (40%). Tourism and fishing generate a smaller proportion of total plastic waste. The most abundant polymer imported into Fiji is PET, which is primarily used for single-use beverage bottles and accounts for 60% of consumer plastic waste, followed by PS (primarily used for styrofoam) and PE.
The program aims to promote gender equality in Fiji's local decision-making process by involving women and vulnerable groups in renewable energy projects and awareness raising, with a target of 40% participation from women and youth.
