What is now called the “New Space Economy” (a sector dedicated to the acquisition of satellite data for environmental monitoring) is destined to involve more and more institutions and companies in the future.

EARTH OBSERVATION, in fact, which has always been used for military and government applications, is now, more than ever, becoming an indispensable tool for monitoring the health of the planet and studying and measuring the effects of ongoing climate change. Dedicated tools for such observations make it possible to trace real “trajectories of future development” with the precise aim of supporting investment and efficiency logics useful for both the institutional and private sectors.

The planethealthcheck.com platform draws on these satellite monitoring technologies and, together with its big-data and information, presents itself as a useful and effective tool capable of monitoring climate change, particularly with regard to melting ice, rising sea levels and water resources, but also fires, deforestation, and even pollution caused by space waste.

Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) is a vital tool for supporting communication accessibility—and thus the opportunity to participate—particularly for individuals with cognitive or learning difficulties. Originating in clinical and educational settings, AAC fosters inclusion by making even complex concepts easier to understand. Through the use of symbols, images, and digital tools—whether used independently or in interaction with others—content becomes clearer and more immediate, facilitating a simple, effective, and inclusive learning experience.

On our platform, the AAC-symbol version has been intentionally integrated into the “interactive map” (homepage) and the “What if…”, “2000-2021”, and “10 Rules” sections (left sidebar). This valuable content was provided and created with the support of ISAAC ITALY—the Italian chapter of the International Society for Augmentative and Alternative Communication—which is dedicated to promoting and disseminating AAC across the country. We believe that applying these strategies to scientific content regarding change represents an investment that will help foster widespread awareness and a sense of responsibility among people from all walks of life.
