A diverse group of scientists has gathered at ISSI for the workshop “Opening up Earth Observations for Climate Adaptation”. The meeting brings together satellite remote-sensing experts, climate scientists, modellers, social scientists, philosophers, and data practitioners from across the globe. Participants span a wide range of scientific backgrounds and career stages, working on global, regional and local climate impacts, inclusivity, and shaping the global Earth observation (EO) landscape. Their geographic diversity is equally notable, with contributors from Europe, Africa, Asia, the Americas, and the Pacific, reflecting the truly global nature of the challenge.
We are pleased to feature a new and timely Perspective paper: “Earth observations for climate adaptation: tracking progress towards the Global Goal on Adaptation through satellite-derived indicators” published in npj Climate and Atmospheric Science on 11 November 2025.
