Space4climate – now and in the future

This Green Zone stand provides a collaborative showcase with the UK’s Earth observation community, the UK Space Agency and European Space Agency demonstrating how satellite data is converted into positive climate action.
Satellite data from space is integral for systematic monitoring of Earth’s climate system. For scientists investigating the physical processes in the current climate, including how climate has been changing in the recent past, we need long and consistent data records for our land, oceans, atmosphere and cryosphere. For many crucial climate datasets, known as Essential Climate Variables, these can be generated by combining data from different satellite missions.
To do this, government, science and industry work together across the world, using cutting edge technology, supercomputing and brainpower to produce trusted satellite data to help us better understand our climate system and to help inform climate action.
