SUPARCO kicks off 'Space4Climate Initiative' to boost climate resilience

GeoAI Climate Observatory integrates satellite data, analytics and models for policy insights

The Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) on Sunday launched the Space4Climate Initiative to strengthen climate resilience and action through space-based technologies, according to a statement issued by the military’s media wing.

The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said that the initiative was centered on a GeoAI-enabled Climate Observatory — an integrated digital platform that consolidates satellite data, geospatial analytics, and modeling into actionable insights for policymakers, researchers, and communities.

“The platform monitors atmospheric pollutants (aerosols, SOx, NOx), greenhouse gases (CO₂, methane), forests, glaciers, coastal dynamics, river systems, and land use. It also tracks climate-induced hazards, including floods, droughts, heatwaves, extreme weather events, sea-level rise, and Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs),” the statement said.

The statement further added that by integrating space-based and in-situ data, Space4Climate supports evidence-based policymaking and sustainable development, advancing Pakistan's climate agenda in line with global efforts.

“The much-needed initiative is important for Pakistan, as the country is among the top ten most vulnerable to climate change,” it added.
