ESA and climate change
Climate change is high on the global agenda.
To tackle climate change, a global perspective is needed and this can be provided by satellites. Their data is key if we want to prepare ourselves for the consequences of climate change. While our Earth Explorers gather data to understand how our planet works and understand the impact that climate change and human activity are having on the planet, the European Union’s Copernicus Sentinels provide systematic data for environmental services that help adapt to and mitigate change.
The video offers an overview of how European satellites keep watch over our world. It includes interviews with Josef Aschbacher, our Director of Earth Observation Programmes, and Michael Rast, our Earth Observation Senior Advisor.

Coastal cities face their mortality on climate 'frontline' | AFP Exclusive
Coastal cities are on the "frontline" of the climate crisis, with swelling oceans redrawing the map and putting hundreds of millions at risk. That's one of the warnings of an unpublished draft report by the UN's climate science advisory panel, seen exclusively by AFP, the most extensive compendium to date of the urgent climate threats facing the planet.

Climate Change : How to survive past 2050
Energy use in our homes, industry and transport accounts for two thirds of our total human induced carbon dioxide emissions. Far from dramatically reducing since the 'historic' Paris agreement in 2015, those emissions have actually started to creep back up. The world is now catastrophically off track to meet any of the lower pathways set out by the IPCC special report published in 2018. We know what we must do. So why aren't we doing it.? This week we look at a new report just out from the International Renewable Energy Agency, which provides a stark assessment of what's required.

What if we could build a global waste disposal service for carbon? In this forward-thinking talk, carbon capture advisor Bas Sudmeijer proposes building CO2 networks: partnerships between cities around the world that would share the cost and geological resources needed to trap emissions deep in the earth -- and give us a shot at stalling climate change.

Energy use in our homes, industry and transport accounts for two thirds of our total human induced carbon dioxide emissions. Far from dramatically reducing since the 'historic' Paris agreement in 2015, those emissions have actually started to creep back up. The world is now catastrophically off track to meet any of the lower pathways set out by the IPCC special report published in 2018. We know what we must do. So why aren't we doing it.? This week we look at a new report just out from the International Renewable Energy Agency, which provides a stark assessment of what's required.
