Session Description

This panel will explore how satellite technology and space-based data applications are transforming global environmental protection. Drawing on real-world missions such as Arab Satellite 813 and next-generation hyperspectral systems like HyperX, the discussion will highlight how space technology delivers critical insights to address deforestation, pollution, climate risks, and biodiversity loss. The session will emphasize how remote sensing empowers decision-makers, researchers, and conservationists with accurate, timely information. By translating complex satellite data into practical environmental action, space applications are shaping smarter policies, faster response systems, and more sustainable development strategies. Panelists will also reflect on the importance of international collaboration in environmental monitoring, where data sharing, joint missions, and scientific exchange are vital to protecting ecosystems that transcend borders. Ultimately, the session will demonstrate how space-based innovation contributes directly to the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly climate action, life on land, life below water, and sustainable cities.
