ESA’s Living Planet Symposia are amongst the biggest Earth observation conferences in the world. The next event is being held at the World Conference Center, in Bonn, Germany on 23–27 May 2022. The event will not only see scientists present their latest findings on Earth’s environment and climate derived from satellite data, but will also focus on Earth observation’s role in building a sustainable future and a resilient society.
