As a world leader in Earth observation, Europe is bound to use this pole position to help address the climate crisis and ensure that the value of observing Earth from space benefits society, the economy, the commercial world and more. With ESA’s Ministerial Council taking place in November, this session not only allows the audience to hear about the Earth observation proposals being tabled, but also allows for a broad exchange to help the Executive fine-tune their plans for the future.

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.
