From space to health: soon the 3rd ClimateSCOpe

Published on 02/02/2026

Climate change exacerbates certain public health issues, including the transmission of vector-borne diseases and air pollution. On Tuesday, February 24, 2026, join us to discover three alert and prevention SCOlutions implemented using satellite data. We look forward to seeing you there!

ClimateSCOpe, the meeting place for international SCO projects.

An international webinar dedicated to SCO projects on every continent, this third installment invites you to dive into the use of spatial data for health purposes. How? For example, by monitoring concentrations of pollutants and atmospheric particles, which are exacerbated during heat waves. Or by monitoring environmental factors such as vegetation, rain, floods, and droughts, which promote certain diseases.

🗓️ See you on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, at 1 p.m. (UTC+1)

Today's program

Preamble: Presentation of an innovative initiative showcasing how space data can support the health sector. This presentation will highlight the use of satellite technologies for monitoring and understanding global health challenges. It will also demonstrate how Earth observation data can contribute to improving health, as well as the well-being of citizens.
🇨🇳 EWSHR : In China, the EWSHR project has developed two online services for monitoring and early warning of health risks linked to air pollution, which is exacerbated by more frequent and intense abnormal weather events: a WebGIS platform on air quality and health risks, and an app providing real-time assessment of pollutant concentrations and health risks from exposure.
🇫🇷 Arbocarto : This French application generates predictive maps of the abundance of mosquitoes, vectors of human arboviruses, in order to target at-risk neighborhoods and guide vector control actions. Automated in its phase 2 with the support of the SCO and continuously improved thanks to the support of the French Ministry of Health, the tool is increasingly being used.

🇫🇷 ClimHealth : This French project has developed two online early warning system demonstrators to provide information on environments conducive to disease transmission: LeptoYangon, a local tool to prevent leptospirosis in Myanmar, and ClimHealth, a generic tool that can address all diseases and symptoms influenced by the environment. Adaptable to any location, the application is open source.
