Planetary Climate
Temperature, precipitation, greenhouse-gas forcing, climate variability and long-term Earth-system change.
Intelligence Level 01
Global Climate Intelligence
Planetary and transboundary evidence for understanding climate change, forests, water, land, fire, snow, biodiversity and interconnected risks across borders.
Planetary Perspective
Climate systems do not stop at political borders
The global layer provides the comparative and transboundary context needed to interpret country, regional and community evidence responsibly.
Forests and Land
Forest extent, vegetation condition, land-cover change, restoration signals and ecosystem productivity.
Water and Cryosphere
Drought, water stress, surface water, snow, glaciers and mountain systems affecting downstream societies.
Hazards and Ecosystems
Wildfires, floods, heat, storms, biodiversity pressures and interacting climate risks.
Live Earth Observation
Zoom from the world to a focused landscape
Live API connection
The global viewer begins at world scale for orientation. High-resolution Sentinel-2 and Landsat searches require a focused view: select a preset or zoom to a region before loading imagery.
Evidence Themes
Comparable layers with clear limitations
Current imagery
Use Sentinel-2 for focused, recent landscape visualization where cloud conditions permit.
Historical context
Use Landsat to inspect longer-term landscape conditions and historical scenes.
Future global products
Coarser global climate, fire, land-cover, water and ecosystem datasets will be added as validated thematic layers.
Interpretation discipline
Visible differences may reflect season, cloud, sensor, atmosphere or viewing conditions and require analytical validation.
Every public layer must identify the data producer, observation period, spatial resolution, licence, processing method and uncertainty.

Microsoft Planetary Computer supplies the STAC search and tile infrastructure. FWI remains responsible for interpretation, validation, attribution and public communication.
