Communicating about Climate Change: Can the Space Industry Tell Our Story Better?

Climate change is one global challenge where use of Earth observations can have the most help because of the ability to capture environmental and socio-economic data over a range of spatial, spectral and temporal resolutions. But how do the public, policymakers, and other stakeholders understand this value of Earth observation and other space data and assets to climate change? What can the space community do to increase awareness and engagement around climate change prevention and mitigation efforts? This session featured a variety of communications, space and climate change experts who discussed outreach and community understanding of how space assets and data contribute to climate change.
