ESA and the European Commission are joining forces to accelerate the use of Earth-observing satellites and the information they provide to address the pressing challenge of climate change.

The European Commission’s Director General for Climate Action, Kurt Vandenberghe, stated that space offers a unique perspective on how to tackle climate challenges faced by humanity.

The initiative is a firm commitment to advancing our understanding of Earth’s climate system and enhancing our ability to take timely and informed actions to mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change, particularly encompassing the European Green Deal.
