From Net-Zero to Energy Transitioning – The UK’s Climate Data From Space Community Points the Way

• Content

18 November 2022 | Updated 17 November 2022

Space4Climate gathers the UK’s Earth Observation community focussed on researching and delivering trustworthy environmental data in support of climate action.

We will be bringing a showcase of this expertise in action to EMEX London, the UK’s Net Zero and Energy Management Expo, taking place in London from November 23^-24. Fresh from its success at COP27, we will be showing our Space4Climate App on the attention-grabbing PufferSphere on our stand, H24.

 

You will be able to talk to us and our members about:

• Trustworthy data to achieve net zero
• Collaboration on innovative climate services development
• Practical decision-support data platforms
• Urban heat islands
• Monitoring emissions and measuring change
• Thermal heat mapping from space
• Contributing to the global stocktake
• Future opportunities offered by climate data from space

 

Chaired by the UK Space Agency, Space4Climate’s members span government, industry and academia, uniting those with expertise in the development of satellites, analysis and exploitation of data they gather, and production of quality-assured global data and climate services.

 

Collaborate With UK experts in Earth Observation

 

Our expert members work with stakeholders and decision-makers to respond to emerging needs for cutting-edge technological advances in climate action, Net Zero targets and sustainability strategies. We bring together collaborations of industry and world-class researchers to develop prototype demonstrators, to scope out the potential for climate services and to share breaking climate science developments and funding opportunities.

 

Decision Support and Monitoring

 

Climate data from space can be used to provide information on past changes and future scenarios for Earth’s full diversity of environments. Understanding variability in a location – what is ‘normal’, as well as how this is changing – is important for a variety of climate services.  Decision support and monitoring services that make use of climate data from space can help to improve our environment and our lives including:

 

• Understanding and monitoring climate change
• Design of our cities, infrastructure, homes and workplaces
• Optimising logistics
• Understanding the air we breathe

 

 

Visit Space4Climate at EMEX 2022 – Stand H24

 

Space4Climate is a stakeholder-led and funded community, chaired by the UK Space Agency, representing the UK’s world-leading Earth Observation expertise and global collaborations regarding climate data. The group members work together in delivering, sustaining and making use of trusted climate intelligence from space aim to drive global economic and societal benefit towards reaching a net zero climate-resilient future.  The group is hosted by the National Centre for Earth Observation at the University of Reading. 

Arrange a specific time to meet us at EMEX by emailing our Climate Services Development Manager, Krupa Nada Kumar, on k.kumar@reading.ac.uk
