SAGE

SAGE will establish a fully operational Green Deal Data Space (GDDS) aimed at enhancing the accessibility, integration, and utilization of green and environmental data across the EU to support key pillars of the European Green Deal—Zero Pollution, Climate Adaptation, Biodiversity, and the Circular Economy Action Plan.

Building directly upon the GDDS GREAT project community and results, and aligning with the Digital Europe Programme's strategic focus on AI, cybersecurity, advanced computing, and data infrastructure, SAGE leverages outcomes from the European Strategy for Data and research facilitated by Horizon Europe.

SAGE's outcomes include seamlessly integrating fragmented environmental data through federation, enriching data with consistent quality, validation, and interoperable metadata, and enhancing capabilities for data transformation, processing, analysis, forecasting, target setting, and performance monitoring.

Targeting businesses seeking compliance with EGD regulations, government bodies optimizing environmental impact, citizens and citizen scientists engaging in environmental stewardship, and researchers aiming to deepen our environmental understanding, SAGE aspires to foster informed decision-making and policy formulation based on robust data and evidence. SAGE’s sustainability will be guaranteed by setting up a standalone legal entity to operate the data space and scale operations during the project lifetime and beyond.
