C O P E R N I C U S I N B R I E F

The Copernicus programme (REGULATION (EU) No 377/2014) is a cornerstone of the European Union´ efforts:

– To monitor the Earth, its environment and ecosystems

– To ensure its citizens are prepared and protected for crises, security risks and natural or man-made disasters

Copernicus

C O P E R N I C U S I N B R I E F

• Places a world of insight (data and information) about our planet at the disposal of citizens, public authorities and policy makers, scientists, entrepreneurs and businesses on a full, free and open basis

http://copernicus.eu/data-access

• http://copernicus.eu/data-access-satellite

• http://copernicus.eu/data-access-services

• https://services-portfolios.copernicus.eu/

• Is a tool for economic development and a driver for the digital economy

Stability of the programme and long term committment

– (Enhanced) continuity of current data and services

– Continuity of full, open and free data and information policy

Copernicus

P O L I C Y N E E D S A N D P R I O R I T I E S

• Additional services considered to meet emerging needs

– Climate change and sustainable development

– Greenhouse gas monitoring, specifically on anthropogenic CO2 emissions for which currently no satellite observations are available

– Monitoring the Polar regions, specifically the polar/arctic observations

– Land use (e.g. agriculture) and forestry

– Security and Defence: improving the EU's capacity (border controls and maritime surveillance)

Copernicus

• UN sustainable development knowledge platform

"The-Future-We-Want" in paragraph 274 recognizes "the importance of space-technology-based data, in situ monitoring, and reliable geospatial information for sustainable development policy-making, programming and project operations."

Challenges CLC

• A number of deficiencies and limitations restrict wider exploitation at the Member State level and below.

– MMU of CLC (25 ha) is too coarse to capture fine spatial details.

– Mixed thematic classes with broad definitions difficult to interpret.

– Insufficient thematic details or attribution.

– Many changes smaller 5 ha of the CLC change layer.

– 6-yearly update too slow for community policy needs.

– Dynamic landscape features, which are highly relevant to policy, may be missed or underestimated.
