Space for Earth – How Space technologies support Earth’s sustainable development

The UN Sustainable Development Goals were set by the United Nations for 2030 to ensure a more sustainable world. Does that mean earth, or beyond? Through earth observation and technology development for space applications, the European Space Agency (ESA) also contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) as well. Through practical examples, we’ll explore how they support these long-term goals.
