WITH THE SUPPORT OF
Climate change is placing growing pressure on vulnerable communities, ecosystems, infrastructure, and national economies. As countries implement and scale up investment in resilience, there is growing demand for better data to guide decisions and demonstrate impact. Satellite Earth Observation (EO) offers significant potential to support these efforts. EO can provide timely, reliable information to assess climate risks, inform planning and investment design, and support monitoring and evaluation.
The European Space Agency’s Global Development Assistance Climate Adaptation and Finance activity works with climate funds and their implementing agencies to integrate EO into strategic planning and project delivery, enhancing the ability to secure and effectively use climate finance. The activity aims to make EO an integral part of how climate risks are assessed, how adaptation investments are designed, and how results are monitored and reported. By doing so, it strengthens the ability of countries and development partners to access, manage, and demonstrate the impact of climate finance. Through strategic engagement, targeted training, and co-development of fit-for-purpose EO products, the consortium supports project preparation, implementation, and monitoring across multiple sectors, including:
- Food security
- Water resources management
- Forests and land use
- Urban resilience
Caribou leads on user engagement, gathering requirements from climate fund stakeholders and implementing agencies, as well as communications on the consortium’s work through blogs, events, and digital tools, helping to demonstrate EO’s value for long-term climate resilience.
