From Data to Decisions

Sea level rise, extreme heat, drought, heavy rainfall, tropical cyclones and coastal inundation affect water security, food production, health, infrastructure and livelihoods across the Pacific.

Since 2012, the Climate and Oceans Support Program in the Pacific (COSPPac), a Pacific-governed, partnership-driven initiative, has worked with 15 National Meteorological and Hydrological Services and 14 Land and Survey Departments across the Pacific to develop the data, tools, products and skills needed to improve climate and ocean services.

COSPPac supports Pacific Island countries to access and use reliable climate and ocean information to inform planning, strengthen disaster preparedness and manage climate risks. By building local capability and delivering practical tools and services, the program helps communities make informed decisions that protect lives, livelihoods and critical infrastructure.
