Earth observation satellite data advancing sustainable development goals

In the race to meet the United Nations’ 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Earth observation (EO) satellite data is emerging as a game-changer. These satellites provide high-frequency, expansive datasets that are revolutionizing how we monitor environmental shifts, assess ecosystem health, and manage natural resources. Recent studies highlight how satellite data fosters synergies across multiple SDGs—for instance, Sentinel satellites are simultaneously driving progress in marine ecosystem monitoring (SDG 14) and climate adaptation (SDG 13). In the race to meet the United Nations’ 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Earth observation (EO) satellite data is emerging as a game-changer.
