European Earth Observation providers support ADB in Pakistan floods recovery efforts

Following the devastating floods which occurred in Pakistan starting from June 2022, several European specialised Earth Observation providers took part in disaster assessment efforts to assist the Asian Development Bank (ADB) with the support of ESA. Earth Observation (EO) can indeed provide key information in the event of natural disasters such as floods. While ESA and the European EO sector bring their expertise to develop such EO products, teaming up with ADB allows to leverage and mainstream the use of EO in Pakistan.
