Spot Image launches Planet Action


Planet Action is an initiative launched by Spot Image to provide satellite imagery and geographic information in support of local projects tackling climate change by raising awareness and engaging concrete actions.

Scientists, industry and decision-makers in the public and private sectors all agree that to tackle climate change seriously, we need to act locally and globally. With this aim in mind, satellite imagery provides reliable and objective data to establish "ground truth". Through its archive of more than 20 years of imagery, its range of operational satellites, partner operators around the globe and a unique worldwide network of receiving stations, Spot Image intends to support actions to protect our planet.
