The Pacific Community's Digital Earth Pacific project will unlock exponential opportunity in the region, the regional body's chief says.
The head of the Pacific Community (SPC) Stuart Minchin said he believes setting up and rolling out the project will be as beneficial for the region as it has been in Australia and Africa.
Digital Earth Pacific involves the development of an earth observation system that takes decades of data and brings it together within the Pacific context.
It aims to understand changes in the environment such as the impact of sea-level rise on communities, disaster preparedness, and agricultural productivity.
