Pacific Data Hub

[pacificdata.org](pacificdata.org) – the Pacific Data Hub – is the central repository of open data and knowledge products about the Pacific region. Anyone can access the public data on the Pacific Data Hub. You are encouraged to search, reuse and share the data on pacificdata.org.

The Pacific Data Hub holds a large and diverse collection of data, data insights, publications, and knowledge products on the Pacific across key sectors, including population statistics, fisheries, geoscience, agriculture, aquaculture, energy, education, human rights, climate change, and oceans, and it continues to grow.

While the intention is for the Pacific Data Hub to become a multi-stakeholder-owned and managed platform, it is currently a product of the Pacific Community (SPC), and as such is governed by SPC’s internal documents.

Let us know how you are using the data hub or if you wish to contribute to our data catalogue.

There have apparently been no systematic estimates of wind energy since the 1970s when the best potential was estimated to be in parts of Central, Western, Milne Bay and New Ireland provinces and thePort Moresby area. These estimates (and recent evaluations of the old data) were based on modeling with very little actual wind gauging. Source: IRENA Lighthouse Country Report.
