Observing the climate
We are the ESA Climate Office, the focal point for the Agency's climate activities. Using satellite observations, we develop the global, long-term data records that evidence our changing climate and inform international action.
From climate science to action
Our satellite data records provide the physical evidence to strengthen climate understanding, anticipate change and support progress towards the UNFCCC Paris Agreement goals.
MoreThe climate challenge
Global temperatures are rising, altering the Earth system’s delicate balance. The international community can still stabilise our climate. Measurements from space help monitor our changing planet and inform decisions towards a sustainable future.
MoreThe climate change initiative
Together with our community of leading European research teams we are developing a suite of global data records of key components of the climate system.
