How Satellite Imagery Is Transforming Greenhouse Gas Monitoring and Carbon Crediting?
Satellite imagery helps in monitoring of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and delivers credible carbon crediting by providing independent evidence for measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV). It moves climate action from estimates and self-reporting to observation-based accountability. Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane (CH₄) are responsible for the majority of climatic changes. While CO₂…
