Accelerating the Green Transition
Earth observation has been essential in identifying and monitoring climate change. Satellite data form the baseline for effective European mitigation and adaptation strategies to support the Green Transition, the European Union's Green Deal and the global goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050.
ESA has now concluded its initial phase of a pilot initiative in Austria that demonstrates the untapped potential of space technologies by providing actionable Earth observation information to accelerate the Green Transition for both society and the economy.
The climate crisis is the most urgent challenge faced by humankind – affecting every region, continent, and ocean on Earth. It fuels a range of other top-level challenges such as food security, biodiversity loss, risks to human health and economic losses.
