Research for a FAIR and integrated Green Deal Data Space

Data Space

The Green Deal Data Space (GDDS) is one of the common European data spaces envisioned by the European Commission to integrate enormous amounts of cross-sectorial data in support of the priority actions of the European Green Deal in terms of biodiversity, zero pollution, circular economy, climate change, forestal services, smart mobility and environmental compliance.

AD4GD’s mission is to co-create and shape the European Green Deal Data Space as an open hub for FAIR data and standards-based services that support the key priorities of pollution, biodiversity and climate change

Solutions alligned with the Green Deal

AD4GD will demonstrate that the developed building blocks could shape the future European Green Deal Data Space as an open hub for FAIR data and standards-based services with integrated data through three pilot cases oriented towards Green Deal priorities.

Biodiversity

Habitat connectivity affects the distribution of species within ecosystems. It is a key biodiversity indicator and, therefore, a cornerstone in European restoration policies. This pilot aims to monitor historical connectivity indices in Catalonia using data coming from remote sensing maps, species occurrence observations and sensor data to enhance regional and local actions.

Air Quality

Poor urban air quality causes serious health issues across Europe. This pilot employs low-cost IoT sensors to enhance accurate and localized air pollution forecasting while involving citizen communities. The goal is to provide detailed local air quality insights that support informed health decisions and help to establish replicable models for urban air quality enhancement.

Water

Berlin’s small lakes are ecological hotspots at risk due to various climate and urban stressors. These lakes also suffer from a lack of information on their condition. This pilot project aims to develop indicators of water quality and availability by integrating IoT sensor data with satellite and citizen science data to improve decision-making at a local level.

From Concepts to Action: Recap of the AD4GD Plenary Meeting in Poznań

The AD4GD project held a productive plenary meeting in Poznan, Poland. The event, which ran from September 3rd to 6th, 2024, brought together key partners to review the progress made on the project and plan the next steps as it moves into its final year.

The first online sister project session on metadata was a huge success!

As we explained in a previous blogpost, the so called Sister Projects of the EuroGEO Action Group on the Green Deal Data Space (AD4GD, FAIRiCUBE, USAGE and B-Cubed) launched a common effort on a joint approach for metadata concepts on GeoDataCubes. On Tuesday 17th...
