Tropical SCOlutions

Tropical SCOlutions, a webinar in French Guiana

A year ago, in French Guiana, the Climate Change Adaptation Days highlighted key findings, a shared commitment among stakeholders to work together, and recognition of the significant contributions that space technology can make. In this regard, the SCO organized a dedicated webinar on 23 June 2026, focusing on the Amazon rainforest.

ATTEST

ATTEST: a story of Aude

“We used to be taught at school that we had to drain fields to send water to the sea as quickly as possible. Today, we want to do the opposite to protect our crops.” The increasing frequency of intense runoff and droughts – effects of climate change – means we need to rethink our land management and agricultural practices. ATTEST is here to support land managers and farmers on this journey.

Quarterly 21

21st SCO France Quarterly Meeting

Exacerbated by global warming, air pollution is a major environmental health issue that affects everyone, in every country.

Cartovege

Cartovege2: mapping the unique biodiversity of the sub-Antarctic islands

Welcome to “the end of the world”, in the heart of the Indian Ocean, in the French Southern Territories: harsh and inhospitable lands, yet sanctuaries of unique biodiversity. Thanks to Cartovege, a tool now exists to help us better understand and protect them, with results exceeding all expectations. Combining science, remote sensing, AI and passion, this is a story that we hope will continue to unfold.

VOQUALISE

VOQUALISE, mission report from Upper Casamance

In the mild heat of Casamance, water is already a major concern: will there be enough water tomorrow to support growing agricultural needs? To help local stakeholders meet this challenge, the SCO VOQUALISE project is working to assess, via satellite, the quantitative and qualitative status of lakes and reservoirs in Upper Casamance.

FLORIA

FLORIA, or how to read the air we breathe

Summer will soon be upon us, and with it, that strange sensation that the air is becoming heavier. In the city, the heat doesn’t just bear down on the streets; it also traps what we breathe. Fine particles, invisible pollution, extreme weather conditions: how can we observe these phenomena on a large scale? This is where the story of FLORIA begins, now an operational service capable of producing maps of PM10 concentrations across Europe.

XtremQuality

XtremQuality: monitoring the 90% of freshwater that nobody looks at

From now on, instead of focusing solely on the 100 largest lakes, let’s also look at the 100,000 smallest ones, which account for 90% of all reservoirs. This is the power of XtremQuality, a key tool for the future: what was previously overlooked becomes measurable, what was scattered becomes structured and, ultimately, what was a blind spot becomes a lever for action. A must-see.
