Improving our understanding of the environmental impacts of space activities

Assessing the risk of when, where and how severe a weather-based disaster will be

Monitoring of disaster-impacted regions to improve coordination of response teams and assets

Monitoring the development of large infrastructure projects

By 2016, over 500 Syrian cultural heritage sites were damaged in the ongoing civil war.

Forecasting vulnerability of infrastructure, lives and livelihoods, and marine ecosystems to the impact of marine climate change

Between 2030 and 2050, around 250 000 extra deaths per year are estimated to occur due to climate change impacts. The UKSA-backed CommonSensing project uses satellite EO data to improve national resilience towards climate change, including disaster risk reduction, and contribute to sustainable development in Small Island Developing States (SIDS).
