Indonesia and Thailand face significant environmental challenges related to climate change, natural resource management, and disaster risk. Satellite Earth Observation (EO) provides timely, consistent data on land cover change, forest loss, ground movement, and other environmental indicators, enabling governments to monitor, plan, and respond at national scale. SCOPE Digital has launched within this context to enable improved satellite EO capability and data access to ASEAN Member States, initially focusing on Indonesia and Thailand.
Caribou leads on user feedback and evaluation, communication and outreach, and the project’s final benefit assessment and sustainability roadmap. Working alongside the SCOPE Digital consortium, we ensure the EO services are shaped by the people who will use them, gathering feedback from national agencies in Indonesia and Thailand, convening regional knowledge exchange across ASEAN Member States, and assessing the project’s long-term impact and routes to sustainability.
SCOPE Digital is part of the EU-ASEAN Sustainable Connectivity Package, funded by the European Commission under the Global Gateway strategy and implemented by the European Space Agency (ESA). It adapts services built on Copernicus, the EU’s EO programme, for operational use by ESA’s two primary national partners: The National Research and Innovation Agency of The Republic of Indonesia, and GISTDA, Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency in Thailand. The services being adapted build on those developed under the CopPhil Centre, the Copernicus Capacity Support Action Programme for the Philippines, bringing proven EO approaches to a new regional context.
