The summer of 2025 significantly affected Europe’s atmosphere. From record-breaking wildfires in southern and western Europe, to intense Saharan dust intrusions and repeated peaks in surface ozone during prolonged heatwaves, air quality was negatively impacted by multiple events. Data from the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS)...
2025 is another milestone year for the EU Space Programme. Following the successful expansion of Copernicus with the launch of Sentinel-5A and Sentinel-4A earlier in the year, on 4 November 2025,…
This year’s edition of the Copernicus Ocean State Report (OSR 9) highlights the deep and widespread links between ongoing ocean change and changes in marine ecosystems, human society, and the…
This year marks a decade since Frontex joined the Copernicus family. Over that time, Earth Observation has become central to Frontex’s support for Member States and Schengen Associated Countries,…
Satellites provide a unique vantage point from above, enabling unparalleled observation of global events. Whether monitoring floods using radar data or providing insights into deforestation through…
The European Union’s Space Programme is the first integrated framework of its kind, bringing Europe’s investments in Earth Observation, satellite navigation, and secure connectivity under a unified…
Cities are racing to adapt to heavier cloudbursts, rising flood risk, and hotter summers. The sponge city approach treats streets, parks, and waterways as living infrastructure which slows, stores,…
From Europe’s highest mountain ranges to the open sea, the EU Space Programme is helping rescuers save lives. Galileo’s Search and Rescue (SAR) service, the European Union’s contribution to the…
Following the launch of Copernicus Sentinel-4A last month, the European Union successfully launched the Copernicus Sentinel-5A to further monitor air quality and emissions around the world.
Over the past decade, Copernicus has been at the forefront of Earth Observation (EO), delivering a constant stream of high-quality data to support evidence-based policymaking and enable informed…
Forests are an important natural resource. They are home to 60,000 tree species worldwide, absorb carbon dioxide, and help regulate both local and global temperatures. They also sustain millions of…
