abstract = {Space-based Earth observation (EO), in the form of
long-term climate data records, has been crucial in the
monitoring and quantification of slow changes in the climate
system—from accumulating greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the
atmosphere, increasing surface temperatures, and melting
sea-ice, glaciers and ice sheets, to rising sea-level. In
addition to documenting a changing climate, EO is needed for
effective policy making, implementation and monitoring, and
ultimately to measure progress and achievements towards the
overarching goals of the United Nations Framework Convention
on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Paris Agreement to combat climate
change. The best approach for translating EO into actionable
information for policymakers and other stakeholders is,
however, far from clear. For example, climate change is now
self-evident through increasingly intense and frequent
extreme events—heatwaves, droughts, wildfires, and
flooding—costing human lives and significant economic
damage, even though single events do not constitute
“climate”. EO can capture and visualize the impacts of
such events in single images, and thus help quantify and
ultimately manage them within the framework of the UNFCCC
Paris Agreement, both at the national level (via the
Enhanced Transparency Framework) and global level (via the
Global Stocktake). We present a transdisciplinary
perspective, across policy and science, and also theory and
practice, that sheds light on the potential of EO to inform
mitigation, including sinks and reservoirs of greenhouse
gases, and adaptation, including loss and damage. Yet to be
successful with this new mandate, EO science must undergo a
radical overhaul: it must become more user-oriented,
collaborative, and transdisciplinary; span the range from
fiducial to contextual data; and embrace new technologies
for data analysis (e.g., artificial intelligence). Only this
will allow the creation of the knowledge base and actionable
climate information needed to guide the UNFCCC Paris
Agreement to a just and equitable success.},
