Abstract
The European Space Agency (ESA) is undertaking a space weather initiative in which preparatory studies are being performed and developments are being made to pave the way for a possible future ESA space weather programme and a possible European space weather service. This initiative is based on longstanding activities in analysis of space environments and their effects on European space programmes and on a successful solar terrestrial physics programme over many years and many missions. This chapter describes these activities, discusses space weather effects, outlines the goals of the present phase of ESA’s initiative and discusses future directions.
