For over 40 years, CGI’s role in the space industry includes supporting global efforts to reduce and mitigate climate change. Working with organizations like the European Space Agency (ESA), European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), UK Space Agency (UKSA), Maxar and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), we deliver secure, mission-critical space systems, including data processing, satellite communications, modeling and simulations to advance climate missions.
Our solutions enable scientists to monitor Essential Climate Variables (ECVs). ECVs are physical, chemical or biological variables that make critical contributions to the formulation of Earth’s climate, for example, sea surface and land temperatures. Monitoring ECVs gives us a better understanding of climate drivers and how they interact, as well as fluxes in energy, water and carbon. The technology we provide turns huge quantities of data into usable, timely and relevant information. We are also part of The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which leads international efforts to restrict global temperature increases to less than 1.5°C above pre-industrial times.
