T.1. Understanding and Predicting the Climate Change for our Planet

Understanding and Predicting the Climate Change for our Planet - It addresses the state of understanding of climate change, and the role of space-based observations and research in how we know what we know, how good is our current understanding, what does the future portend? This includes modeling and its predictions.

T.2A. Climate Change Impacts and Challenges (Biodiversity, Forests and Land, Ocean/Marine Ecosystems, the Arctic and beyond) [1]

Climate Change Impacts and Challenges - The role of space-based observations in understanding and addressing the climate change challenges to biodiversity, ecosystems, human health, habitability, economics, disasters, infrastructure, fresh water, sea level rise, and other domains.

T.2B. Climate Change Impacts and Challenges (Biodiversity, Forests and Land, Ocean/Marine Ecosystems, the Arctic and beyond) [2]

T.4. Weather, Climate and Environmental Intelligence

Weather, Climate and Environmental Intelligence - How are agencies, the commercial, and non-Governmental Organization sectors provide services that are turning data into information for decision makers from Government or the public to achieve climate security and resilience?

T.5. An Outer Space Perspective on Climate Change (Space Law and Policy)

An Outer Space Perspective on Climate Change (Space Law and Policy) – What laws and policies are necessary and helpful to best support the space community in addressing and monitoring climate change, and what role can the space community play in supporting effective laws and policies to address climate change.

T.6A. Space Technology for Climate Adaptation and Mitigation [1]

Space Technology for Climate Adaptation and Mitigation – What role can space technology play in adapting to and mitigating climate change? Discuss the key emerging technologies that can make a major difference in understanding the changing planet and provide major in directions for space-based missions.
