Small Island Nations are on the frontline of the devastating impacts of climate change. With nearly a third of the population living on land less than 5m above sea level, they are vulnerable to the threat of rising sea levels, degrading their coastlines, their communities, and their livelihoods. IPP CommonSensing is an ambitious project to use satellite remote sensing capabilities to support the Governments of Fiji, the Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu in their efforts to build resilience to the devastating impacts of climate change and improve access to climate finance.
In this episode of In-Orbit we’re going to introduce you to the negative impacts of climate change – the climate change we’re all contributing to – and the havoc it can wreak on these thousands of islands. We’re also going to show you how, somewhere far above our heads, satellite technology is doing something to help.
