Satellites: Essential for tackling climate change | Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency

"To tackle climate change, it is essential to gain a deep understanding of the Earth we live on. The first step toward this goal is to accurately comprehend the mechanisms and current state of our planet. The Earth observation satellites operated by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) monitor a range of essential climate variables across the Earth's environment on a global scale, collecting and accumulating data over extended periods."

"This initiative provides a critical foundation for accurately assessing the impacts of climate change and formulating effective countermeasures. In this feature, guided by Professor Tadahiro Hayakawa from the Graduate School of Science at Tohoku University and Advisor to the Director General of JAXA's Earth Observation Research Center, we will explore how satellite technology addresses climate change and its anticipated advancements in the future."
