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).
