Land Resources Division Annual Report 2012 / Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC)

Abstract

LRD’s integrated mode of operation is based on seven thematic area teams and three support teams, working together with stakeholders to identify and prioritise issues, and jointly implement solutions. LRD has a well established platform from which it supports Pacific Island countries and territories (PICTs) in meeting the challenges of this century. These challenges — perhaps the most demanding the Pacific has had to address in recent years — include climate change, increasing food prices, and land management and conflict minimisation.
