Copernicus Sentinel-1 radar data makes it possible to detect ground movement with millimetre-level precision. CopPhil’s Ground Motion Monitoring Service puts that capability to work for Philippine institutions, mapping subsidence, seismic activity, and land deformation to support hazard monitoring, infrastructure planning, and disaster risk reduction.

Discover how CopPhil’s Land Cover, Forest & Crop Mapping Service uses Copernicus Sentinel satellite data to monitor forests, agricultural land, and urban expansion across the Philippines. The service supports sustainable land management, food security, and climate resilience.

The CopPhil Technical Assistance team is implementing a broad programme of capacity-building activities supporting the use of Earth Observation (EO) and geospatial data in the Philippines, supporting the EU Global Gateway implementation in the country.

Over the course of the year, The CopPhil Centre advanced the deployment of its Earth Observation services, strengthened the technical and institutional capacity of Philippine stakeholders, and consolidated its visibility across major events and forums in the Philippines and the wider ASEAN region. These efforts leveraged the close collaboration between European and Philippine partners, ensuring that the services, tools, and training delivered closely match real operational needs.

CopPhil joined researchers, practitioners, and students at PhilGEOS 2025 in Quezon City to showcase how European and Philippine partners are strengthening national access to Copernicus satellite data and geospatial infrastructure.

SCOPE Digital’s launch at APRSAF-31 marked the regionalisation of CopPhil, uniting partners from Europe and Southeast Asia to advance Copernicus-based cooperation, climate resilience, and long-term Earth Observation capacity across ASEAN.

The EU–Copernicus Youth Challenge showcased youth-led solutions using Copernicus data to address urgent regional issues, with finalists presenting actionable, policy-grounded concepts strengthened by CopPhil’s technical mentoring and regional collaboration across the Asia-Pacific.

CopPhil highlighted how Earth Observation strengthens climate and disaster resilience, contributing insights on data governance, showcasing EO applications, and reinforcing the Philippines’ commitment to evidence-based, collaborative preparedness at the National Policy Dialogue.

The EU–Copernicus Youth Challenge brings young innovators together to transform satellite data into practical ideas for climate resilience, marine protection, and sustainable urban development, supported by CopPhil’s masterclasses, mentorship, and real-world Earth Observation datasets.

CopPhil was featured at the 2025 Philippine Space Week Exhibit, running from 8 to 10 August at Gateway Mall, Araneta City, Cubao. Now on its second year at the exhibit, CopPhil highlighted how Copernicus Earth Observation (EO) data can be used to address pressing national challenges from environmental monitoring to climate resilience.
