À propos de cet audio

We speak with Stephen Ward and George Dyke from Symbios Communications about the important role of Earth observation (EO) data in shaping Australia’s space policy and climate response strategies. They explore how satellites support climate monitoring, including detecting and mitigating methane emissions, one of the most potent greenhouse gases, and discuss pathways to achieve cost-neutral solutions.

The conversation delves into the geopolitical challenges of Australia’s reliance on foreign satellite data, the risks posed by shifting global dynamics, and the need to secure data sources through strategic international partnerships. Stephen and George propose key policy recommendations for strengthening Australia’s space capabilities, including the potential for sovereign satellite missions.

They also reflect on the importance of EO data in global climate response mechanisms and the important role satellites play in providing the information needed for climate action and resilience.
