China: Remote sensing monitoring for global ecology

China’s Ministry of Science and Technology issued a 2022 annual report on the remote sensing monitoring of the global ecological environment.

The report consisted of 2 very important topics, namely “ice, snow and vegetation change in the Arctic region” and “the production situation of global bulk grain and oil crops and the contribution of multiple cropping and irrigation.”

Through this report, Ministry of Science and Technology is focused on to provide scientific data support for promoting sustainable development in the Arctic region and coping with climate change, as well as analyzing the impact of extreme weather and regional emergencies on food production and supply.

The Ministry of Science and Technology has released 29 thematic reports and more than 100 dataset products in the past decade and has formed a satellite application system for Earth observation, such as meteorology, resources, environments, and oceans. The high-resolution Earth observation system and national space infrastructure have gradually improved.
