Dr. Stuart Minchin

SPC's DG was at the IAC 2025 to showcase how space technology and Earth Observation can strengthen Pacific resilience. From bilaterals to panel discussions on SPC’s work through DE Pacific, we can support PICTs in having decision-ready tools designed with them, not just for them

Very pleased to welcome @sminchin, Director General of the Pacific Community, to @WHO and discuss ways to advance our collaboration in making health facilities in Pacific islands more resilient to the climate crisis, to tackle obesity and noncommunicable diseases, and continue providing essential health services, especially for the most remote populations.

SPC DG Dr Stuart Minchin met with FAO DG Qu Dongyu to discuss deepening collaboration on shared priorities: sustainable food systems, fisheries & fit-for-purpose investment in the #Pacific. Together, we're building pathways for a more resilient, inclusive, and prosperous Pacific

In my meeting with @spc_cps Director-General @sminchin, we exchanged views on digital innovation, sustainable fisheries, and collaboration through #SouthSouth Cooperation and #1Country1Product initiatives to strengthen partnership in support of Pacific priorities.

We’re proud to share that DG Dr Stuart Minchin has received the 2025 GEO Lifetime Achievement Award! DE Pacific's model means everyone is able to harness trusted information, reinforcing SPC’s mission to deliver science-driven services for the Pacific. #EarthIntelligenceForAll
