How space agencies monitor the shifting patterns of our changing planet
In short: At the 2015 International Symposium on Climate Change, ESA's Mark Doherty discussed the critical role of space-based observations in understanding our warming world and its impact on global development.
During the symposium held at Rome's Temple of Hadrian from 27–29 May 2015, experts examined the intersection of climate change and world development. A key focus included how the European Space Agency observes climate shifts from orbit.
The ESA Climate Change Initiative (CCI) aims to harness forty years of Earth Observation data to assist the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). This effort aims to build the Essential Climate Variable databases necessary for tracking global environmental changes.
