The FutureEO programme

The FutureEO programme is a broad framework that defines and implements the long-term vision for the European Space Agency’s (ESA’s) ambitious Earth observation strategy.

It is Europe’s bridge to sustained leadership and innovation in Earth observation, enabled through the next ambitious missions, which include Earth Explorers, Scouts and Φ-sats. 

The programme delivers world-class scientific excellence, ensuring that reliable, long-term datasets are available for climate science and for government policy to address climate change, biodiversity loss and sustainability.

FutureEO prepares and enables all operational missions that support essential services, from climate monitoring to weather forecasting and applications that improve European resilience and autonomy.
