From Observation to Climate Action and Sustainability for Earth
Held every three years, ESA’s Living Planet Symposium is among the world’s premier events on Earth observation. The symposium continues to expand in both size and scope. With the climate crisis intensifying, the Living Planet Symposium 2025 (LPS25) emphasises transitioning from ‘observation to climate action and sustainability for Earth’. At this year’s symposium, a team of CMCC researchers will present CMCC activities leveraging Earth Observation to monitor key environmental and climate indicators, represent the carbon cycle, promote agricultural resilience.
The event provides a forum to present and discuss the latest scientific findings and applications based on satellite data, and to review the contribution that data and technologies have made and could further make in addressing environmental and societal challenges. The symposium will showcase innovative products, services, missions and initiatives, with the overarching goal of demonstrating how science, society, policy-making, businesses and the economy can all benefit from observations made from space.During the five-day event, diverse communities united by a common interest in exploiting Earth observation data will gather together, creating a unique opportunity to meet and network with space enthusiasts from a wide range of sectors.
