The objectives of the ESA Living Planet Symposium were to:

 

  • Present  the  progress  and  plans for the implementation of ESA Earth Observation strategy and the relevance of ESA's EO Programme to societal challenges, science and economy.

  • Provide an international forum to scientists, researchers and users to present and share state of the art results based on ESA's Earth Observation and third-party mission data.

  • Review the development of Earth Observation applications.

  • Present the Copernicus space component and operational services.

  • Report on ESA’s Exploitation Programmes (i.e. Climate Change Initiative, SEOM, DUE, VAE, STSE).

  • Introduce the current and future planned Earth Observation missions.
