European Space Agency's Climate Team, often posting about ESA's Climate Change Initiative programme - climate.esa.int
At #COP30 Earth Information Day @esa.int's @calbergel.bsky.social explains how Earth Observation can support quality control of national greenhouse gas reporting for reliability, transparency & accountability. New satellite missions will provide much denser sampling of atmospheric CO2 & CH4.
