GMES Global Monitoring for Environment and Security Mauro FACCHINI GMES Bureau SatExpo Europe 2010 Origins of EU involvement in Space Policy 1998/1999: Common resolution on the reinforcement of the synergy between the ESA and the European Community (EC) 2000: European Strategy for Space jointly adopted with a view to strengthen foundations (technology and access to space), enhancing scientific knowledge and reaping the benefits of space for markets and society 2003: ‘EC Green and White Papers’ 2003: ESA ‘Agenda 2007’ Identification of space as a tool to support EU sectoral policy goals such as strategic nondependance, knowledge-based society, economic growth, security and defence Adaptation of ESA to better respond to the needs of emerging (public or private) customers for space, incl. a new relationship with the EU 2004: ESA/EC Framework Agreement Progressive development of overall European Space Policy by providing a common basis and appropriate operational arrangements for efficient and mutually beneficial ESA/EC cooperation. Creation of Space Council (SC), High-Level Space Policy Group (HSPG) and ESA/EC Joint Secretariat. Priorities of European Space Policy • Flagship applications of European Space Policy 1) Galileo The European initiative for a state-of-the-art global navigation satellite system, providing a guaranteed global positioning service under civilian control (constellation of satellites) 2) GMES The European initiative for global monitoring for environment and security purposes, integrating space-based and in situ applications and services (pre-existing infrastructure + 5 new Sentinel families of satellites) Develop adequate funding instruments & schemes What is GMES? •Global Monitoring for ENVIRONMENT and SECURITY •An independent earth observation system for Europe •The largest fleet of satellites and atmosphere/earth-based monitoring instruments in the world •An end user-focused program of services for environment and security •Joined-up information for policymakers, scientists, businesses and the public •Europe’s response to the global need for environment and climate monitoring What is the objective? ...to provide information services to policy-makers and other users EARTH OBSERVING SYSTEMS (space, airborne, insitu) Information PUBLIC POLICIES Needs (policy driven) Space Agencies In-situ Observing systems Scientific Community EO Value Adding Industry (Environment & Security) National Governments and Agencies European Union Institutions Inter-Governmental Organisations (IGOs) Non Governmental Organisations (NGOs) EU Added value • Relevance of EU level taking into account subsidiarities • Overall “information chain”: from observation to information required by the users • “System of systems“: mutualisation & long term sustainability of capacities & resources • Build on existing capacities in MS GMES Overall View USERS Policy Makers & & Public Private, Commercial What is their need? Example Services Provided Farming Land Oil Spill Tracking Air Quality Flood Marine Atmosphere Emergency Space Infrastructure & In Situ Infrastructure OBSERVATION Surveillance Security Information Services Sustainable observation GMES Components GMES is an EU led initiative In-situ component – led by EEA • Observations mostly within national responsibility, with coordination at European level • air-, sea- and ground-based systems and instruments Space Component – led by ESA • Sentinels - EO missions developed specifically for GMES: • Contributing Missions - EO missions built for purposes other than GMES but offering part of their capacity to GMES (EU/ESA MSs, EUMETSAT, commercial, international) GMES Services Monitoring of Earth systems Land Marine Atmosphere Horizontal applications Security Emergency Climate GMES Services Land •Land use •Forests •Urban planning •Water quality •Crop production •… Urban Atlas GMES Services Marine •Maritime transport •Ocean resources •Sea temperature •Sea level rise •Oil spill monitoring •… Sea surface temperature GMES Services Atmosphere •UV monitoring •Solar radiation •Air quality •Aerosols •Ozone •….

Stern, Former Chief Economist of the World bank.
