Charting the Future of Earth Observation: Technology Innovation for Climate Intelligence

Satellite Earth observation (EO) technologies are revolutionizing climate intelligence, offering vital insights into our rapidly changing environment. This white paper examines how integrating complementary technologies with EO data converts complex information into actionable climate insights. By harnessing the power of advanced processing and analysis, EO is driving innovation, enabling timely climate action, and supporting global resilience efforts.

Satellite Earth observation (EO) technologies are revolutionizing climate intelligence, offering vital insights into our rapidly changing environment. This white paper examines how integrating complementary technologies with EO data converts complex information into actionable climate insights. By harnessing the power of advanced processing and analysis, EO is driving innovation, enabling timely climate action, and supporting global resilience efforts.

Developed in cooperation with MIT Media Lab, the paper explores key trends in EO, such as the evolution of satellite technologies, the importance of democratizing climate data, and the integration of EO insights into decision-making processes. Emphasizing accessibility and cross-sector collaboration, this report is a crucial resource for leveraging EO technologies to address the pressing challenges posed by climate change.
