When people come together with a goal in mind, they change the world. The hundreds of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and civil society organisations (CSOs) worldwide prove just that. From advocating for human rights to ensuring biodiversity protection, non-governmental groups have been key to responding to crises worldwide and driving change. ESA wants to help in taking the wheel.

With Europe being the headquarters for some of the world’s leading NGOs and CSOs, the opportunity to combine ESA’s expertise with these groups is here. Though ESA’s speciality is space, we can help NGOs and CSOs of all causes, including human rights, climate action and more. Recently, for example, ESA has shared space data with NGOs tracking illegal landfills and helped deliver assistance to people experiencing poverty in regions affected by war. Plus, a recent consultation with NGOs focused on environmental issues paved the way for future collaborations for ecosystem conservation and restoration.

If you work in an NGO or CSO and believe ESA could help you achieve your organisation’s goals, reach out to our NGO Liaison Officer, Pal Hvistendahl (pal.hvistendahl@esa.int).
