At ESA, we believe that we have a responsibility to use our space technologies, applications and services to benefit planet Earth and humankind. Some examples of how we do this are part of an exhibition called Space for our Planet: Space Solutions for a Sustainable World.
Space for our Planet shows the crucial role of space in our transition towards a sustainable future. The exhibition is made up of 25 portraits of 'agents of change'. From fishers to climate experts, astronauts to students, and oceanographers to doctors, the 25 interviewees share their stories of how they are using space to achieve the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
