Twenty-four dedicated projects are developing long-term global data records, as part of ESA’s Climate Change Initiative, to track changes across the oceans, atmosphere and land
precursors of aerosols and ozone
The CCI aims to realise the full potential of the long-term global Earth Observation archives that ESA has established over the past 30 years, as a significant and timely contribution to the ECV databases required by UNFCCC.
ESA's climate research community to meet on 24-27th October 2022
It is unequivocal that human influence has warmed the atmosphere, ocean & land. Widespread and rapid changes have occurred (IPCC AR6, 2022)
CCI uses climate knowledge and technical capabilities from across ESA Member States to support research and development.
The climate of a region is its predominant weather conditions, averaged over many years
Satellites observing Earth provide a clear picture of changes across the entire planet, measuring and monitoring our vast oceans, land, atmosphere and areas that are difficult to reach, such as the polar regions.
