Frontier Brief / reviewed editorial

Climate signals are clearer than ever, but local protective action still breaks across forecasting, communication, finance, and trust.
Earth observation can tell us more, earlier. That does not guarantee that a household, organization, or city can act.

Field Notes can surface where global capability disappears inside local friction.
