Space is uniquely positioned to make a difference in tackling the threats and challenges faced by humanity. Satellites watch over Earth continuously, helping scientists to monitor, understand, model, predict and act on climate change and its related challenges.
Earth observation data will be combined with in situ environmental measurements, along with artificial intelligence, to construct a digital twin of Earth. This replica of the planet will provide an accurate representation of the past, present and future changes of the world.
This will accelerate the transformation of space data to actionable information using complex modelling, high-performance computing and machine learning, and allowing the development of ‘what if’ simulations to support decision-making.
