Description
The mission of the SPC is to help Pacific island people position themselves to respond effectively to the challenges they face and make informed decisions about their future and the future they wish to leave for the generations that follow. The goal of the Applied Geoscience and Technology Division is to apply geoscience and technology to realize new opportunities for improving the livelihoods of Pacific communities. The Division has three technical work programmes: Ocean and Islands; Water and Sanitation; and Disaster Reduction.
