Coastal island communities are especially vulnerable to climate change. Stronger cyclones, rising sea levels, warming waters, biodiversity loss, prolonged droughts, and major flood events threaten their existence.

Marou Village in the Yasawa archipelago of Fiji is one such community.

Can demonstrating sustainable and resilient energy and water systems with Marou Village help establish a precedent for other communities to follow?

To answer this question, the residents of Marou Village and LAGI invite you to design a work of art in the landscape that will supply clean and reliable electricity and drinking water to the coastal village’s 67 households, support tourism, and help to build a sustainable future for generations to come.

Two winning teams will each be provided with a stipend of $100,000 USD to advance their design proposal and build a functioning prototype of their idea in Fiji.

Lagi has a special meaning in the Pacific Islands.

It means sky or universe — and when combined as vakalomalagi means heaven — evoking feelings of hope and harmony.

LAGI 2025 Fiji has been co-created with Marou Village,
a community on the southeast coast of Naviti Island in the
Yasawa Group archipelago in the Western Ba Region of Fiji,
to secure a future in harmony with nature.

 

In partnership with

The Village of Marou
