IAF GNF: FROM ANALYSIS TO ACTION: BRIDGING GAP TO SECURE CLIMATICALLY VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES

International Astronautical Federation 2023-06-05 | The catastrophic effects of climate change have already started to take place in some of the most climatically vulnerable areas. The IAF’s values of 3G diversity and the promise of sharing of GIS data gives the relevant stakeholders a humanistic foundation to make a difference. However, when identifying actual impact of manifesting these values among the most vulnerable communities, there exists a huge gap. For example, small farmers in Ecuador (host of GLEC 2022) who are significant contributors towards the fresh flowers, sugar, banana, and cacao industries get little to no information regarding weather and other conditions. In most cases, the government run institutions that are in charge of providing information regarding weather and other conditions do not have the capabilities to share or provide the information to the end users.

In the 2022 catastrophic floods of Pakistan, the most vulnerable communities were unaware of the quantum of flood water that was predicted. People were not prepared and even at the onset of floods were not made aware of the severity of the incumbent disaster. Although, the magnitude of most severe climate catastrophes of recent times have surpassed their predicted values, yet there still exists significant value in modeling the earth observation data and simulating different climate change scenarios to better equip the most vulnerable communities. This panel discussion will highlight opportunities to bridge the gap between the incredible capabilities offered by earth observation systems and those most vulnerable to extreme climatic events.

IAF GNF: POLYCRISIS LINKED TO CLIMATE CHANGE: FROM SHORTAGES TO SOCIO–ECONOMIC IMPACTS ...

International Astronautical Federation 2023-06-05 | The climate change phenomenon is triggering a series of global polycrisis. Natural disasters and extreme weather are increasing the natural resources crisis that is providing a collapse of a systemically important supply chain and raising living costs. Some of these risks are already reaching the tipping point. The extreme events, the heat and the drought our planet is already experiencing are warning signals that our lives' sustainability is incompatible with the available resources. What are the main challenges these risks are causing? Can governments, global actors and civic society play in advance and prevent the escalation of new threats? How can civil actors build a long-term plan to minimize the impacts of these shortages on future generations? This panel aims to address the responsibility of several civil actors towards future generations, looking at the effects of climate change from different angles.

HIGHLIGHT LECTURE: OPERATIONAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES - GLOC 23

International Astronautical Federation 2023-06-05 | Climate change is directly affecting our lives, as changing weather patterns, more frequent and extreme natural events disrupt the order of ecosystems. The contribution of human activity to the augmented greenhouse effect, the pollution of ecosystems, the resulting loss of biodiversity, and the rapid depletion of natural resources are all reasons for concern. To combat and halt the adverse effects of climate change, prompt and coordinated action at international level is ongoing, aligning EU climate strategy with the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda, the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

In this context, the overarching set of strategic policies, key objectives and transformative actions of the Green Deal are supporting the development of a new green economic model which will transform Europe in the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. Driven by growing concern and awareness of the climate crisis, governments, businesses, financial institutions and individuals have taken major actions to ensure a transition towards a more sustainable economy. Several policies are stimulating companies to get greener, impacting the development of EU Space based solutions and innovative products in different market segments including Agriculture, Energy, Infrastructures, Forestry and Mobility. Space application companies are leveraging the unprecedented availability of EU Space data together with the numerous funding opportunities stemming from the Green Deal, to create innovative solutions addressing climate change, including a drastic reduction in carbon emissions and a significant increase in sustainability practices.

The EU Space Programme, including Copernicus, Galileo and EGNOS, can play a critical role in supplying the information companies need to monitor environmental indicators and reduce carbon footprint. EU Space data and services are a key tool to understand and mitigate the impact of climate change, paving the way towards a climate-resilient society, helping to make the European Union’s economy sustainable by turning climate change challenges into opportunities.

IAF GNF: CARBON FOOTPRINT OF MONITORING CLIMATE CHANGE FROM SPACE - GLOC 23

International Astronautical Federation 2023-06-05 | The observation of Earth from Space has been key to evidence climate change. However, as any human activity, this contribution may come at a price and has its own impact on climate change.

As the activity in the space sector and the number of satellites and launches increases, the impact in terms of carbon footprint shall become a concern. The intent of this GNF session is to set up a roundtable with different actors of the space industry and agencies, in order to review which levers are already being addressed, both directly by industrials, but also at sectorial or agency levels, in order to mitigate the impact on climate change over the value chain.

A first point of view on the current generation of launchers and it evolutions could be given by ArianeGroup, which has performed its first carbon footprint analysis on all the scopes (including upstream and downstream activities) and is defining its climate roadmap, policies and action plans. This presentation would shed the light on the levers identified, but also on the main difficulties in order to reduce its footprint, through a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats analysis.

A second point of view could be given from satellite manufacturing perspective (TAS, Airbus DS, OHB...).

A third point of view could be given by satellite operators.

This roundtable will also be an opportunity to highlight the recent signature of the "joint statement for a responsible space sector" under the lead of ESA, and especially focusing on the work of the "decarbonisation working group" with all the key players of the space sector in order to define common targets and roadmaps.

IAF GNF: GLOBAL METHANE OBSERVING SYSTEM - GLOC 23

International Astronautical Federation 2023-06-05 | Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, second only to carbon dioxide in its contribution to global warming. It is a short-lived climate pollutant with a lifetime of about 12 years in the atmosphere, which means that reducing methane emissions can provide rapid benefits in limiting the global temperature increase. Reducing methane emissions is also increasingly recognized as one of the most cost effective ways of fighting climate change.

Satellite-based measurements are a critical part of the emission quantification, tracking, and reporting system. They also provide actionable information to mitigate emissions, for example by detecting and localizing fugitive emissions. Together with bottom-up inventories, ground measurements, and airborne sensors, they form the basis of a global methane observing system, which is crucial to inform policy and drive climate actions.

It is estimated that methane emissions must be reduced by about 40-45% by 2030 to limit the temperature increase below 1.5° C. This is a significant endeavour that faces many technological, economical, and political challenges. This panel brings together a diversity of actors from private, public, and nonprofit organizations, who will present the current capabilities for methane monitoring and discuss their vision for how some of those challenges can be addressed in the future. The aim is to encourage the development of creative solutions and raise awareness about this global problem.

PLENARY: FROM EARTH OBSERVATION DATA TO SUCCESSFUL CLIMATE POLICY - THE ROLE OF THE SPACE INDUSTRY

International Astronautical Federation 2023-06-05 | Available Earth Observation (EO) data monitors the whole surface of the Earth in real time. The resulting transparent and objective data can fill critical gaps in our understanding of the changing, dynamic planet. EO can therefore be a valuable ally to policymakers responding to climate change.

The value of EO for climate policy is already leveraged by policymakers globally. A growing number of pioneering governments are integrating EO technology into successful climate mitigation policies, for example, in the fight against tropical deforestation or mitigating global emissions. Likewise, EO is strengthening climate resilience programmes, improving prevention, preparedness, response and recovery from climate-related hazards such as forest fires and extreme weather events. These developments make EO indispensable for efficient monitoring, reporting, and verification systems, upholding informed policy decisions and driving progress towards defined climate targets.

The Earth Observation industry is an integral contributor to the space sector’s value for climate policy. Upstream, commercial EO data goes beyond filling gaps in the public provision of spatial, spectral, and temporal resolution. Through relentless innovation and breakthrough advancements it offers enormous complementary and stand-alone value to monitor the impact of climate change. Downstream, value-added service providers are indispensable in transforming the combined wealth in public-private space data into practical insights for policymakers.

This session will explore the role commercial provision of EO data and services plays in developing, implementing, and evaluating climate policy. We will present and assess public programmes and policy initiatives leveraging industrial EO capabilities, forming the basis for a discussion on the opportunities and gaps to be addressed by the EO industry in the future of successful climate policy.

IAF GNF: FIRE - ADDRESSING CLIMATE CHANGE MEASUREMENT AND IMPACTS IN THE TROPICS - GLOC 23

International Astronautical Federation 2023-06-05 | Climate Change is the greatest environmental challenge in the 21st century, and with worsening impact predicted for generation to come, climate change is high on economic, strategic, and political agendas worldwide. Climate change has dramatic impacts connected with extreme weather events like heatwaves, floods, and violent hurricanes but also with more longer-term effects such as the melting ice sheets and glaciers, sea level rise. These impacts can be devastating for populations living in high-risk areas, and tropical areas are certainly more exposed than others. In addition, the key role of tropical forests in absorbing and storing large amounts of CO2 from the atmosphere is dramatically at stake due to continuous deforestation and degradation from fire and selective logging. Earth observation satellite's global view capacity, high repetitivity and increased spatial resolution, provide key resources to monitor the impact of climate change and support policies aiming at mitigating and adapting to its effects. How can satellite data support climate change adaptation and mitigation in the Tropics? How can they help in attenuating root causes like anthropogenic harm to tropical forests? This panel brings together leading scientists and scholars from space and development agencies and universities to discuss how space data can offer concrete solutions to tackle climate changes risks in the Tropics.
