race to
Net Zero
Paris, October
14, 2021 – Atos
today launches Terra², a mobile application that provides valuable
data so that decision makers and influencers can make data-driven
decisions, supporting the COP26 ambition. The data presented
combines satellite imagery offered by Atos’ satellite Earth
Observation Platform Mundi Web Services, the world’s largest earth
observation program, with scientific research from international
laboratories and research institutes1 led by the LSCE (Laboratoire
des sciences du climat et de l'environnement) on carbon monitoring.
Together this provides data analysis across 6 specific sectors
(such as Industry or Ground Transport) to help understand the
effect of CO2 emissions and find appropriate solutions.
Terra² offers a unique level of insight to
inform policy-making, shape and measure decarbonization
initiatives, influence stakeholders and other governments in their
race to net zero, and drive citizen behavioral change for a safer,
more sustainable future.
Terra² offers users a number of tracking
options, such as Air
Pollutants, Pollutant
Evolution from COP21 to
COP26 and Carbon
Monitoring,
and the ability to track them across a region or city of their
choice. The app also includes a direct link to information on and
online demos of 5 of the Mundi services – these are Greenhouse Gas
Monitoring, Temperature Detection, Fresh Surface Water Monitoring,
Atmospheric Pollution and Vegetation Detection.
With Terra² any government or public agency can
gain insight into a range of different areas - from the
impact of urbanization to inform urban planning,
to signs of the effects of deforestation in
different countries or regions, to air quality and
pollution monitoring, all which can be
used to shape new policy-making. Terra² provides 5 years of data,
making it possible to compare and see an evolution over the years
to measure progress.
“This is the first app, to my knowledge,
available worldwide that integrates millions of daily observations
from a dedicated constellation of satellites with data from
thousands of land, air and marine-based sensors all over the world
to create the most comprehensive pictures of Earth that have ever
been captured. No other platform makes available such detailed and
holistic environmental data, and we’re proud to work in partnership
with Atos to provide a really unique level of insight. Terra² will
be able to increase awareness on the effect of CO2 emissions, from
policy makers to the general public, and empower users with a new
perspective on our planet, to enable positive and sustained
behavioral change to transition to net zero” said
Philippe Bousquet,
Professor at the
Université de Versailles
St-Quentin and Researcher at
LSCE.
“As a trusted partner to governments all over
the world, we work with our customers and their stakeholders to
help build a safe and sustainable future for the people and the
planet”, said Nourdine Bihmane, Head of
Decarbonization
Business Line at Atos. “COP26 is
a pivotal moment for the future of climate change and the time to
act is now. As a forerunner in accelerating decarbonization, this
new application is the perfect illustration of Atos’ commitment in
transforming the way digital technologies are designed, developed
and used, and we call that “Transformation for Good””.
Terra² is now available to download free of charge (for Android
and Apple users), in 7 langages (English, French, Spanish, German,
Dutch, Italian and Greek ). Flash the following QR code to download

Atos will be presenting its new Terra2 mobile app at “Tech for
Climate Action”, part of COP26, the 26th UN Climate Change
Conference of the Parties in Glasgow (31 October – 12 November),
where it will be sharing its net zero 2028 ambition,
decarbonization expertise and innovation solutions to help drive
net zero transformation.
