Earth observation technologies continue to play a vital role in our understanding of global climate change. To advance these efforts and inspire deeper commitments to sustainability, Planet and Norway’s Ministry of Climate and Environment co-hosted Climate.EO, an affiliate event of the Global Climate Action Summit. Held at Planet’s San Francisco headquarters, Climate.EO convened more than 150 international governors, state secretaries, NGOs, researchers, investors, and policymakers. The purpose of the event was to gather a diverse mix of constituents and foster dialogue on cutting-edge applications of Earth observation data in climate solutions globally. At the event, Planet co-founders Will Marshall and Robbie Schingler reinforced Planet’s commitment to develop new solutions that fill critical climate data gaps and drive new solutions in key domains – from land and ocean monitoring to sustainable cities to climate finance. Norway’s Minister of Climate and Environment Ola Elvestuen spoke of how Planet’s imagery was fundamentally changing how we monitor activities such as illegal deforestation, and that governments can support adoption of improved Earth observation data to drive transparency and results in climate policies and finance.
