Scientists, citizens and organisations want to help fight climate change for a brighter future, researching, developing and implementing innovative solutions that also create employment and drive economic growth.

                                                                    
                                                                    
                                                                    
Decreasing of air pollution during the pandemic of coronavirus, monitoring of climate changes, and forest fire alerts.

The program of the European Commission counts with the international cooperation of various countries, including Brazil, Colombia, and Chile in Latin America.
Recently, a group of scientists from the Center for Mathematical Modeling (CMM) of the Universidad de Chile were able see the explosion of 61 supernovas in real time, just hours after they appeared in space.
