The session will establish what we know about the current state of climate change, what we are doing and what we are not doing. During the session, panelists will present the hard up to date facts, the global impact (societal and economic), as well as the different developing trends and scenarios, and will ultimately discuss how all of these aspects are connected to space: (60% of the 54 ESV (Essential Climate Variable) is addressed by satellite infrastructure) and how can space support an even faster action. Panelists will engage and discuss the way forward, and the roles that governments and international organizations must play.
