The purpose of the study is to present a practical solution to the devastating impacts of drakiveisau faced by Fijians using the traditional approach. It hopes to bring to the fore the severity of climate change effects on our island nation, its adopted mitigation strategies, the ability to be resilient, and the fight to restore traditional value systems, skills, and knowledge through education. Understanding and incorporating traditional knowledge and skills with scientific knowledge is vital for combating the issues associated with climate change. Traditional sailing practice using waqaniviti is a skill of interest for this study. In our attempt to make sense of the world we live in and to understand the effects of climate change, and come up with strategies to tackle the problems it has caused in Fiji today, it is important to consider the post modernism, religious and environmental worldviews where the knowledge and skills of the indigenous culture will help us value and preserve our environment=and sustain the world from the impacts of climate change.
