Most climate adaptation conversations focus on what happens on the ground. But some of the most critical data comes from above it.
Since its 2018 launch, Diwata-2 has continuously carried out Earth observation missions for environmental monitoring and post-disaster assessment, capturing over 157,804 satellite images and covering 96.47% of the Philippine land area.
