We cannot mitigate climate change if we do not measure it
Earth Observation
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
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) is now a fundamental tool to make communication accessible especially for those with cognitive or learning difficulties. Originally developed in clinical and educational contexts, AAC promotes inclusion by making complex content easier to understand. Through symbols, images, and digital tools, messages become clearer and more immediate, facilitating simple, effective, and inclusive learning.
On our platform, AAC has been deliberately included in the “mappa interattiva” (homepage) and in the sections “What if…”, “2000-2021”, and “10 Rules” (left sidebar). This valuable content was created with the support of ISAAC (International Society for Augmentative and Alternative Communication), an internationally recognized organization dedicated to the creation, promotion, and dissemination of AAC. We are the first platform in Europe to integrate it with scientific content related to climate change topics.
