Enhancing Environmental Awareness through GMES Services: A Collective Effort**

Tim Haigh, Head of Group GMES at the EEA, discusses the need for improved environmental information among EU citizens, where 42% feel uninformed about critical issues. In collaboration with Eionet, GMES services aim to enhance environmental observation through a robust architecture of space and in-situ infrastructure. The EEA's coordination of in-situ data and user requirements contributes to effective governance and the integration of GMES into environmental systems. This initiative recognizes the role of citizens and businesses in achieving meaningful engagement and informed decision-making.

  1. Using GMESservices and in-situ Tim Haigh – EEA, Head of Group GMES

  2. The EEA and the Eionet(European Environmental Information and Observation Network)

  3. 42 % of EU citizens feel poorly informed about environmental issues Source: Eurobarometer, 2008

  4. Who do you trust most when it comes to environmental issues? Source: Eurobarometer, March 2008

  5. The theory - GMES Architecture OBSERVATION INFRASTRUCTURE SpaceInfrastructure In Situ Infrastructure Users Security Atmosphere Emergency Marine Land GMESSERVICES GMES Services Downstream Services DOWNSTREAM SECTOR Value multipliers

  6. GMESWhat is EEA doing? 4. 2. 3. • Following and steer GMES implementation and governance processes; • Provide certain elements of GMES services; • Make use of services and federate user requirements; • Coordinate in-situ data (GISC project)

  7. Are you aware of use of GMES services in your country? Atmosphere Land

  8. Are you aware of use of GMES services in your country? Emergency Marine

  9. Pilot GMES services … +

  10. GMES soil sealing

  11. Working with MyOean to develop chl-a indicator based on EO data Exisiting EEA indicator based on In-situ observations • Problem with level of significance and needs more verification with in-situ data. Magnitude of concentrations Trend direction and magnitude: Blues are negative Reds are positive Trend significance: Blue is statically significant Red is statically insignificant

  12. “User for a” or “User fora” 1. 2. • Lisbon strategy, 2020 objectives • Where are the Citizens? • Where are the Businesses? • Where are the connections to established information capacities, systems and decision making? 3.

  13. EEA role in coordinating insitu - http://gisc.ew.eea.europa.eu/ • Facilitate the implementation of the infrastructure for sustainable in-situ data provision for GMES services • Distinguish between: • Designing the long term modeland supporting pilot projects • Products (eg provided by mapping agencies and met services) and data

  14. Our challenge

  15. Integrating GMES to form part of environmental observing systems
