Go to topicBetween 28 and 30 November, Liverpool held a series of events to mark its recently awarded status as UN's very first accelerator city for climate action, giving ESA the opportunity to showcase how satellites advance understanding of the global climate system and also empower sustainable urban development.
Visitors to the exhibition explored Earth’s changing environment through the eyes of Earth-observing satellites, thanks to interactive demonstrations from ESA’s climate team. Experts within this group are working with scientists around the world to harness satellite data into actionable information that helps the international community monitor and mitigate the effects of climate change.
