The ESA call is part of the fight against greenwashing, a practice that misleads consumers with misleading environmental claims, hindering effective responses to climate crises. In this regard, the European Union has introduced regulations such as the Green Claim Directive and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, to allow verification and ensure the environmental responsibility of supply chains.
Within this framework, the call "Space supporting Environmental Claims" explores the potential benefits that space technologies - from data from Earth observation applications (SatEO) to information provided by the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) - can bring to the green transition and environmental sustainability.
