As HKH countries face greater threats from climate change, satellites can be enormously useful given the limited access to ground data in the region. Despite the proliferation of free and open-access satellite data and technology, their use in decision making by governments and civil society is fairly limited in our region. Recognizing this fact, we compiled a recently released open-access book – Earth Observation Science and Applications for Risk Reduction and Enhanced Resilience in Hindu Kush Himalaya Region: A Decade of Experience from SERVIR – which was launched virtually on 25 August 2021.
