Remote-Sensing Satellite Data and the Making of Global Climate in Europe, 1980s-2000s.
Answers to how to manage the urgent climate crisis depend on perceptions of global climate. Knowing how they came to be is necessary to open up new possibilities about ways to face it. CLIMASAT aims at establishing a truly comprehensive narrative that integrates various spheres of knowledge to understand how global climate discourses, policies and practices came into being in the approximate 1980s-2000s Europe.
