COP26 concluded with The Glasgow Climate Pact, signed by all participating nations, building on the significant progress and momentum since the Paris Agreement in 2015. Everyone must now act to deliver on the commitments made at COP26.

In the weeks leading up to COP26, the UK published its Net Zero Strategy, which outlined its legislated plans to reach net zero emissions by 2050 and fighting climate change with Space technology was one of the items in the Ten Point Plan in the National Space Strategy. Space technology touches all sectors, and the Space ecosystem has a critical part to play in empowering solutions for climate change and enabling the UK to realise its Net Zero Strategy.

This webinar is the second of a two-part series that will present several concepts on the subject of ‘Space-Enabled Net Zero’, exploring how Space can help us respond to the climate challenges discussed during COP26 and limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels. In this second webinar, we will cover the topic of new service delivery and new opportunities. An invited panel will discuss and debate emerging technologies, opportunities, challenges, and impacts surrounding this topic. Participants are also invited to pitch a single slide lightning talk on a concept relating to Space-enabled net zero for discussion and debate.
