EU H 2020 ERA-Planet/GEOEssential Variables for resources efficency and environmental management Gregory Giuliani / 23. 10. 2017

Some facts… 14 partners from 7 countries Total budget: € 10, 4 mio Requested budget: € 2. 71 mio September 1. 2017 – August 31. 2020 www. geoessential. net

The project aims at demonstrating the feasibility and generality of the concept of Essential Variables (EVs) across the Nexus of GEOSS Societal Benefit Areas (SBAs). ü Sustainable and trustable sources of data and information to monitor the progresses made on environmental conditions ü Cross-thematic workflows and knowledge base to evaluate, predict and monitor Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) ü Gaps and synergies for addressing the needs of environmental policy in agriculture, soil, water, biodiversity, energy, light, and raw materials

Main expected impacts/results: Expected contributions to GEOSS and Copernicus programmes: • To build the EO Knowledge Base to match User needs with products and services; • To build on the ENEON commons for a better access to in-situ data; • To advance the definition and implementation of EVs across GEOSS and Copernicus; • To identify the existing gaps for implementing EV and monitoring SDGs; • For the Nexus, to demonstrate the feasibility of goal-driven workflows ingesting that to the GEOSS and Copernicus process; • To advance the present GEOSS Common Infrastructure by adding important capabilities; and • To increase public awareness towards the EU-SDGs targets and progresses.
