Joint initiative of the European Commission and the European Space Agency;

Designed to establish by 2008 the foundations and structuring elements of an European capacity for the provision and use of operational information for Global Monitoring of Environment and Security;To be composed of three modules, which together constitute the functional GMES "system":- the production and dissemination of information in support of EU policies for Environment and Security (“User Services”);- the mechanisms needed to ensure a permanent dialogue between all stakeholders and in particular between providers and users;- the legal, financial, organisational and institutional frame to ensure the functioning of the system and its evolution.

Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe-INSPIRE

The Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe initiative (INSPIRE) aims at making available relevant, harmonised and qulity goegraphic information for the purpose of formulation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of Community policy-making

INSPIRE will pass throug 3 distinct phase:

The Preparatory Phase (2005-2006)

The Transposition Phase (2007-2008)

The Implementation Phase (2009-2013)



INSPIRE principlesData should be collected once and maintained at the level where

this can be done most effectivelyIt should be possible to combine seamless spatial information

from different sources across Europe and share it between many users and applicaton

It should be possible for information collected at one level to be shared between all the different levels, detailed investigations, general for strategic purposes

Geopgraphic information needed for good governance at all levels should be abundant under conditions that do not refrain its extensive use

It should be easy to discover which geoggraphic information is available, fits the needs for a particular use and under which conditions it can be acquired and used

Geographic data should become easy to understand and interpret because it can be visualised within the appropriate context selected in a user-friendly way

GEO? WHY?

Several temporal and spatial gaps exist in global Earth Observation systems (comprising all satellite, airborne, terrestrial or ocean-based observation platforms);

National, regional and global EO programmes suffer from lack of coordination and continuity;

Availability and access to EO-based data, information, products and services, tailored to users needs, is not sufficient in many domains;

EO programmes and initiatives lacked strong political support and commitment on a global level!



Founding of ad hoc GEOad hoc GEO established at the First Earth

Observation Summit (EOS-I), held in Washington, D.C. on 31 July 2003;

EOS-I declaration created and tasked ad-hoc GEO to prepare a Ten-Year Implementation Plan for the development of a Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS), by end of 2004 (“deadline” moved to mid February 2005);



Membership open to all countries of the world 55 countries (plus the EC) endorsed at EOS-III the GEOSS 10-year

Implementation plan and are current GEO members;

International organizations are participants 43 organizations are represented in GEO since GEO-6;

GEO SecretariatInterim GEO Secretariat currently supported by NOAA (USA);Permanent GEO Secretariat to be installed at WMO (Geneva) until

autumn 2005;

GovernancePlenary meetings of all members and participating organisations;4 co-chairs (EC, Japan, South Africa, USA) to facilitate ad hoc GEO

activities in periods between plenary meetings (to be replaced by an Executive committee from May 2005 onwards).

GEO-1 (July 2003, Washington, D.C.): determined high-level objectives and schedule;

GEO-2 (November 2003, Baveno, Italy): review of technical reports by five expert subgroups;

GEO-3 (February 2004, Cape Town): ad hoc GEO members negotiated GEO Framework Document (foundation for Implementation Plan) and created Implementation Plan Task Team (IPTT);



GEO-4 and Earth Observation Summit - II (April 2004, Tokyo): approved Framework Document and provided guidance to IPTT;

GEO Special Session on Governance (September 2004, Brussels): working session discussed international governance of successor mechanism to ad hoc GEO, which will administrate GEOSS;

GEO-5 (29-30 November 2004, Ottawa): Intergovernmental negotiation by ad hoc GEO members on the draft GEOSS Implementation Plan;



GEO-6 and Earth Observation Summit-III (February 2005, Brussels):

Endorsed a Ten Year Implementation Plan (with accompany-ing Technical Reference Document) of a Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) as the basis for its further development and for establishing a GEOSS to fulfill user requirements among various socio-economic benefit areas. The plan includes emphasis on capacity building, user requirements, data utilisation and data policy issues;

Established the intergovernmental Group on Earth Observations (GEO), to take those steps necessary to implement GEOSS in accordance with its implementation plan;

Prepared a communique relating to support for Tsunami and multi-hazard warning systems within context of GEOSS.



GEOSS (Global Earth Observation System of Systems):Distributed system of systems, building on current

co-operation efforts among existing observing and processing systems within their mandate, while encouraging and accommodating new components:Acquires observational data from all different EO

platforms;Processes data into useful products;Exchanges, disseminates and archives shared

data, metadata and products;Undertakes activities to continue EO related

Research, capacity building and outreach.

Future GEO challenges:

GEO Transition period during year 2005:

GEO-I meeting on May 3 and 4 2005 in Geneva to further support GEO and GEOSS Implementation

Decision on and installation of GEO governance body (Executive Commmitee)

Commitments by GEO members to provide resources for GEO Secretariat on a regular basis

Installation of GEO Secretariat (including appointment of director)

Development of GEO Work Plan

Installation of a Science and technological advise mechanism

Installation of a User Feedback mechanism

10-year GEOSS Implementation period from 2006 onwards:

details to be specified during GEO transition period



Societal benefit areas of GEOSS (approved by GEO-4): Reducing loss of life and property from natural and human induced disasters; Understanding environmental factors affecting human health and well being; Improving management of energy resources; Understanding, assessing, predicting, mitigating and adapting to climate variability and change; Improving water resources management through better understanding of the water cycle; Improving weather information, forecasting and warning; Improving the management and protection of terrestrial, marine and coastal ecosystems; Supporting sustainable agriculture and combating desertification; Understanding, monitoring and conserving biodiversity;



Contributions of Europe to GEOSS Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES)- System to co-ordinate and enhance existing Earth observation and monitoring information in order to support better decision making on environment and security; - Transition from research-driven (EC FP6/FP7, ESA) pre-operational GMES activities to fully operational services (2004-2008) - Regional and national Earth Observation networks (e.g. atmospheric observation networks by NMHSs)

- EU supported environment research (FP6 and even more in FP7) adressing GEOSS societal benefit areas
