The Prince and his entourage arrived yesterday after visiting Fiji and Tonga.
Today the Prince will be visiting some of the climate change projects such as the Vaisigano Bridge and the village of Moata'a mangrove reserves to see first-hand the effects of climate change and mitigation efforts in place.
The Crown Prince will also visit Samoa's head of state Tuimalealiifano Va'aleto'a Sualauvi II and prime minister Tuila'epa Sa'ilele Malielegaoi before leaving later today.
The Kingdom of Norway said the visit by the Crown Prince provided an opportunity to strengthen cooperation between the countries on issues relating to climate change.
