EuroGEOSS contributions to the Global Earth Observation System of Systems

The dynamic understanding of the Earth system – including its climate, natural resources, and hazards – is crucial to enhancing human welfare and achieving sustainable development. Observations provide a foundational input for advancing this understanding. Local, regional and global information about natural resources in forests, for example, supports management in cases of fire. The over 65,000 forest fires, which Europe witnesses each year, have a direct impact on governments, businesses and conservation. This impact can only be accessed if all related information has been collected, analysed and made available to the involved stakeholders.
