Earth Observations: Making The World a Better Place (Film Teaser)
"Earth Observations" refers to the hundreds of different ways in which our planet, society and nature are monitored and mapped in the 21st century using satellites, drones, buoys, probes and more. This data is used to save lives, protect nature and understand our world. But we can only make use of this incredible amount of data if we find ways of sharing and processing it. And for that, we need a lot more global cooperation.

Earth Observations: Who Are GEO (Group on Earth Observations)
This film explores how "The Group On Earth Observations" (GEO) - headquartered in Switzerland - is coordinating global Earth Observation data in order to make the the world a better place for all who call it home.

Never Underestimate The Destructive Power of Fire
Most people have no idea how quickly a fire spreads, and many structures and building underestimate its destructive power. More importantly, they underestimate the need for proper fire safety. This film looks at how destructive fire can be, and how really simple changes to buildings and structures can make a significant difference in the protection of property the safety of lives.

Shifting to Wind Energy
We have all seen giant wind turbines pop up on landscapes around the world, but utilising wind to generate power is still nowhere near as big a part of the energy mix as it could be....

Hydrogen - The Clean Fuel of the Future
Rather than use fossil fuels such as oil and petrol, it is possible to power cars, trucks, planes, ships and trains with hydrogen. Hydrogen is a clean-burning fuel that emits only water vapor as a by-product. Trials are currently underway around the world to to create hydrogen-powered transport, and we explore the biggest of these trials - a hydrogen powered taxi-fleet called "Hype" in Paris, France.

Understanding and Monitoring Global Pipeline Networks
Out modern world relies on an massive and intricate network of cables and pipelines that criss-cross the planet. But few of us are aware of sheer scale of this network, and what it takes to build and maintain. Mapping the global pipeline network is a struggle, because the first pipelines where laid and buried without proper record keeping. This film examines the technology we are using to ensure our pipeline networks are recorded, maintained and kept safe, to ensure the world keeps functioning.

Preventing Disasters Before the Even Happen
(How Can We Use EO Data To Keep The World Safe?)
UNISDR (United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction) is creating and tapping into technology that uses Earth Observation data to prevent disasters before they even occur. And where they are unpreventable, they are using this technology to save lives and infrastructure as well as implementing robust pre-warning systems.

Using Satellite Technology to Improve Our Lives
From smart cities to mobile medical treatment, from crime prevention and illegal fishing monitors to pollution avoidance, the satellite and space sector are changing our lives. In this film we look at just some of the innovations currently being used and developed, thanks to satellite technology, that are improving our lives.
