RT @AschbacherJosef: AWS is the prototype for a revolutionary constellation, by @esa for @eumetsat, that imagines near-constant global weather data, enabling real-time 'nowcasting'. Φsat-2 will further demonstrate the benefits of using AI for innovative Earth observation. Some exciting new missions for EO are happening this summer, stay tuned and watch live tonight.

🚀 Our Arctic Weather Satellite and Φsat-2 missions are ready for lift-off!

⏰The 53-minute launch window opens at 19:20 BST/20:20 CEST on 16 August 2024.

Despite the positive progress on carbon pricing, much more is needed.

Currently, less than 1% of global greenhouse emissions are covered by a direct carbon price at or above a strong enough level.
