Space4Climate worked with the London Climate Change Partnership to start a conversation about the potential to obtain and use data to create a heat vulnerability index for UK cities, or a similar information product, to support implementation, measuring progress, and monitoring heat risk across a range of different needs and sectors.
Climate services
As a group we are able to offer end-to-end capability from design, manufacture and satellite launch to data analytics and integration of climate information into decision support services.
As defined by the Global Framework for Climate Services: “Climate services provide climate information to help individuals and organisations make climate smart decisions… They equip decision-makers in climate-sensitive sectors with better information to help society adapt to climate variability and change.”
WaterWorld is a testbed for the development and implementation of land and water related policies for sites and regions globally, to test intended and unintended consequences of policies.
Satellite data helps to provide real-time information and work out how climate change affects the distribution, severity and frequency of thunderstorms, thus increasing aviation safety.
