SCO Call for projects 2026
The Space for Climate Observatory (SCO) is thrilled to announce its latest Call for Proposals, inviting innovative minds and organizations to join us in transforming the landscape of climate action. This is your chance to be part of a global movement that leverages the power of Earth Observation (EO) data to develop operational tools addressing the urgent challenges of climate change and create a powerful combination with valuable in situ data.

Quality of night-time lighting, resilience to alternating drought and runoff, preservation of coastal biodiversity: these are very different topics, but they all benefit from satellite data. On Tuesday 2 December 2025, during the 19th SCO France Quarterly Meeting, three SCO projects presented their space-based solutions to these major challenges.

As water resource management becomes central to strategies for adapting and building resilience to droughts and extreme events, the use of spatial data is becoming critical in combating the effects of climate change. The SCO XtremQuality project demonstrated this at COP30 on 10 November 2025.

With global warming, Sargassum seaweed is becoming increasingly invasive. On both sides of the Atlantic, it is becoming necessary to monitor its huge banks and anticipate its strandings. Thanks to the support of the SCO, the SeSaM project partners have finalized a robust solution whose data is highly regarded by the Copernicus Marine Service.
Learn more ➔3 companies sign the SCO Charter
Leading several flagship SCO projects, ACRI-ST, GlobEO and MEOSS are the first three companies to sign the SCO Charter. In doing so, they formalize their commitment to the alliance's values: sharing, cooperation, action and transparency. By opening up to the private sector, the SCO is recognizing the role and dynamism of companies in implementing operational solutions for climate adaptation.

Made operational thanks to the SCO FrichesAgricoles project, the Izifriche® solution is improving and becoming more reliable. In October 2025, Safer Occitanie revealed the 2024 inventory of agricultural wasteland in the 13 departments of its region. The result: 150,000 hectares of "WaSaBI wasteland" identified, representing 2.6% of the usable agricultural area (UAA) in the Franch Occitania region.

Faced with the climate emergency and increasing episodes of drought, the EO4AgriWater project marks another step towards smart water management in agriculture. Combining the expertise developed in three previous SCO projects, the tool developed enriches MEOSS's MEO-WaterManagement solution. Find out more!
Learn more ➔ClimateSCOpe 2: Eyes on the forests
Eyes on the forests: how space is protecting the green lung of the planet. With 108 connections on October 23, 2025, ClimateSCOpe, the new projects webinar, brings together the SCO community from around the world to discuss forest conservation. Replay.
Learn more ➔ALISE validates SWOT for microtidal hydrodynamic modeling
The quality and accuracy of SWOT data enable the scientific community to make significant advances. In the case of the SCO ALISE project, the team tested its data on one of the most complex environments imaginable: intertidal zones, which form the interface between land and sea. It shares its findings on Casamance in a study published on September 15, 2025.
