Full Story:
Monaco has officially joined the Space Climate Observatory (SCO), signing the Charter during the Observatory’s 3rd Congress in Paris. The Principality’s membership in the SCO signifies its commitment to using space technologies to monitor and address the impacts of climate change. The SCO brings together over 50 public and private organizations to utilize satellite data, on-site observations, and digital models, providing tools and information for decision-makers. By joining this initiative, Monaco will have access to an international network of partners and the expertise of space technologies to better understand and anticipate climate change. This collaboration is particularly valuable as Monaco supports developing countries in their fight against climate change. The SCO serves as a platform for connecting space solutions with climate action and potential funders. This signing also highlights the close ties between the Monegasque Government and the National Center for Space Studies (CNES), the founder of the SCO, strengthening essential scientific and institutional cooperation in addressing the climate challenge.
