Use the global vantage point of space along with the significant scientific knowledge acquired, to advance the understanding of the Earth system and to curate actionable information to help the Nation understand, mitigate and adapt to climate change. By September 30, 2025, NASA will advance the understanding of the Earth system and its climate by delivering three new observing systems; meeting development milestones for the Earth System Observatory (ESO); and maturing the interagency U.S. Greenhouse Gas Center.
