The global climate: a status update | LPS 2022

Today is dedicated to the urgent issue of the climate crisis and is led by ESA’s Climate Office. This first session of the day looks at the 6th Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and leading researchers and policy-makers discuss the best available bio-geophysical science underpinning past, present and future climate change and the need for systematic observations from space.

Held on 23–27 May 2022 in Bonn, Germany, the Living Planet Symposium brings together scientists and researchers, as well as industry and users of Earth observation data, from all over the world to present and discuss the latest findings on Earth science and how satellite data support environmental research and action to combat the climate crisis. The symposium also focuses on emerging space technologies and the new opportunities emerging in the rapidly changing sector of Earth observation.
