This webinar is convened by the Pacific Climate Change Centre (PCCC) the ISCCR project, and the Pacific Community (SPC) through the Pacific Climate Change Innovation lounge, as part of the PCCC's ongoing webinar series. THe session explores the transformative potential of Earth Observation (EO) technologies, including satellite data, in supporting climate change resilience across Pacific Island Countries (PICs). It brings together experts and practitioners to discuss how EO tools can inform decision-making, strengthen partnership, and enhanced climate change adaptation strategies tailored to the unique challenges of the Pacific region.

Pacific leaders believe climate experts are missing an opportunity to incorporate indigenous knowledge into adaptation measures. The call has been made as hundreds of scientist, global leaders, and climate adaptation experts around the globe gather at the Adaptation Futures Conference in Christchurch.
