With COP27 climate change conference about to begin, a gallery of amazing satellite images reflect some of the themes the event will cover.

Tech firm Planet Labs has taken God's eye snapshots of relevant locations using over 200 Earth observation satellites that capture daily change on Earth.

They range from finance centers, including London and New York, to vast solar power arrays in China and Chile.

Also represented are pollution hotspots, as shown by oil slicks in Ancon, Peru and the Gulf of Mexico in Louisiana.

Large-scale agriculture is shown in huge patchwork fields in Rio Grande, Colorado, as well as Japan and Germany.

The 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference is to be held November 6 to 18 in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt.

Countries come together with the aim to take action towards achieving the world's collective climate goals as agreed under the Paris Agreement.

Planet Labs provides 3.7 meter (12 feet) resolution images of the entire Earth daily, with over 300 million square kilometers of imagery collected each day.
