EU funding (€3,993,674): Satellite-based services to support sustainable land use practices under the European Green Deal. Hor25 Oct 2024 EU Research and Innovation programme "Horizon"
Overview
Text
Satellite-based services to support sustainable land use practices under the European Green Deal.
The main objective of GreenEO is to provide improved satellite-based environmental information to support sustainable nature protection practices across four competing land-use areas: cities, agricultural areas, forests, and ecosystems. Through combined exploitation of new Earth Observation products, digital infrastructure, and atmospheric and land surface models using machine learning and data assimilation, GreenEO will provide environmental information and stakeholder engagement practices to support the implementation of the Zero Pollution (ZP) and Biodiversity aspects of the European Green Deal (EGD). The project will serve as a proof-of-concept to enhance specific services provided by Copernicus and EUMETSAT in support of the EGD implementation. GreenEO aims to support the transition towards more sustainable land use practices in Europe and proposes a transformative governance system, relying on a data value chain enhanced with active stakeholder engagement and co-creation. The value chain proposes the uptake of satellite data, integrated in a modelling development chain and followed by value creation modelling applications. In cities, GreenEO will develop three satellite-based approaches of high-resolution urban-scale air quality maps to engage relevant stakeholders to support the ZP strategies. For agriculture, GreenEO will address impacts on nitrogen emissions, deposition, and biodiversity. It will create satellite-based high-resolution emission inventories, deposition, critical load exceedance maps, and identify areas with high recovery potential. GreenEO will develop a forest fire service that will revolutionize the monitoring of wildfires over Europe. GreenEO will create novel ecosystem monitoring indicators such as city greening indicators, ecosystem area and condition indicators. GreenEO will advance seamless climate-weather and environmental services in Europe, by proactive links to EUMETSAT, WMO, the Copernicus Services, EEA and EU Missions.
