ERA-PLANET. GEO-Essential

It will create cross-thematic workflows to evaluate, predict and monitor natural resources to inform via Earth Observations the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Existing structures and platforms will be analysed in order to identify substantial gaps and synergies for addressing the needs of environmental policy in agriculture, soil, water, biodiversity, energy, light and raw materials. Solutions for improvements will be provided in cooperation with GEO and Copernicus programmes.

GEOEssential will create a Knowledge Base infrastructure to facilitate the collection and formalization of the knowledge (i.e. user needs, gaps recognition and recommendations for closing C24, best practices, Community of Practice lexicon, etc.) stemming from the European NetworkEarth Observation Networks and from other significant Earth Observations (EO) initiatives and programs at the National and European levels.
