Conclusions ICT (RS) is crucial to acquire environment information for

further applications in a variety of fields, agriculture, hydrology, meteorology, …etc to adopt to climate change. It’s suggested to set up high-quality relevant infrastructure.

Integrate multiple sensors to take data with multiple scales and multiple physical measures, such as multispectral, hyperspectral, microwave, thermal, as well as LIDAR sensors.

Require geographical information systems and various approaches of data processing and image analysis to extract information for subsequent entry to statistical or physical models to monitor the properties and trends of the environmental issues such as climate change, hydrological cycle, natural disasters, crop yield,  … et al.

RS technologies are innovative technologies which enable us to care for our living environment to achieve the sustainability.
