Using new cutting edge technology and techniques these demonstrator missions provide answers to urgent questions. Our Earth Explorer satellite missions are at the vanguard of technology. Through its role as a major provider of systematic and global climate observations ESA interacts with a number of international organisations that are working toward strengthening the scientific understanding and projection of climate and addressing the consequences of future change.Ĭlimate-relevant observations are provided by a large number of satellites developed and operated by ESA: Earth Explorers – advancing Earth and climate knowledge Addressing and tackling climate change is central to the work of ESA’s Earth Observation programme: to predict future change, support effective policy-making, enabling communities to build a more sustainable and resilient future, and tackle the consequences of a changing world. ESA’s satellites provide the global view, enabling the science community to detect signs of change, identify significant trends and constrain models to predict the future.įrom their unique vantage point, satellites provide key information for understanding the complexities of our planet and monitoring environmental issues.
ESA is a world leader in Earth observation from space, using satellites and novel techniques to ‘take the pulse of the planet’.ĮSA’s Earth Observation Programme is a main player in the international landscape supporting climate science and monitoring.
