Mexico joins the G20 in international satellite alliances to address Climate Change / @SICT_mx >>>

#SICT.- The Ministry of Infrastructure, Communications and Transport (SICT), through the Mexican Space Agency (AEM), in coordination with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SRE), will join international satellite alliances to address Climate Change, within the Group of 20 (G20).

The Director General of the AEM, Salvador Landeros Ayala, explained that half of the 52 main variables for measuring Climate Change are obtained via satellite, and that it is essential to articulate joint strategies to address this problem, since only what can be measured can be improved.

It is important to point out that bodies such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) have warned the world of this serious danger, describing it as “possibly the greatest shared challenge facing humanity”.

The scientific community warns that an atypical intensification of hurricanes is becoming more likely due to the effects of Climate Change, and that the warming of the oceans could induce increasingly stronger storms, but there is a lack of strategies for mitigation and adaptation.

“Mexico will join initiatives to apply satellite tools to targeted climate change mitigation strategies, we already have conversations with space agencies from countries such as India, United Kingdom, and Paraguay,” he stressed in this ‘5th G20 Space Economy Leaders Meeting’.

In the panel “Climate Change Mitigation: Strategies for Action and Coordination”, he presented the Mexican talent project “Mexican Observatory of Climate and Atmospheric Composition” (OMECCA), of AEM, with the Institute of Atmospheric Sciences and Climate Change (UNAM), and the National Institute of Ecology and Climate Change (INECC).
