We are an international development organisation owned and governed by our 27 country and territory members. In pursuit of sustainable development to benefit Pacific people, our unique organisation works across more than 25 sectors. We are known for our knowledge and innovation in such areas as fisheries science, public health surveillance, geoscience, and conservation of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture.

The Climate Change and Sustainability (CCS) division strengthens and streamlines SPC’s actions on climate change by bringing together work already undertaken by the organisation under a coherent strategic and technical leadership. In addition, it leads the actions of SPC on climate change and sustainability, works with SPC’s regional and international partners and promotes the integration of these issues into all development activities conducted by its divisions.

Working across SPC technical divisions, the Adviser supports the application of GESI principles throughout the project cycle, strengthens organisational capability, and promotes consistent implementation of SPC’s Social and Environmental Responsibility (SER) policy and broader GESI commitments.
