The climate of our Planet is changing and people across the world can have a look at this thanks to our "eyes" in space.
Various impacts of this changing environments are being observed, and we will together go on a journey exploring the causes and the effects of climate change, travelling through Lands and Seas, Deserts and Poles, Forests and Plains.
We will observe how beautiful and fragile the Earth is, and how the planet needs to be loved and respected by us.
"Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads." (Walden - Henry David Thoreau)
Love Planet Earth 2018 edition
We are guests of our planet and its changes are the signs of our lives, our culture needs or just ourselves. Climate changes give us evident effects of their presence, here on the Earth, but also from a long distance. We observe the boundless beauty of the sea and the rising of its level temperature, the unpredictable variety of nature, but also its impetuosy, the wonderful shapes of the desert and their progress, forests and their threatened vitality, the charming dance of poles and icebergs. We observe. Far far away, in Space through satellites and far in time, through long-term data series. The climate is changing, we need human change, because "There is no Planet B." (Ban Ki-moon)

“Love Planet Earth” is a Telespazio project born in 2007 with the aim of sensitising public opinion on environmental questions and the effects of climate change, showing the contribution that satellite technology is able to provide to study these phenomena.
