Uncovering SDGs-EYES
SDGs-EYES is aimed at boosting the European capacity for monitoring the SDGs based on Copernicus through building a portfolio of decision-making tools to monitor those SDG indicators related to the environment from an inter-sectoral perspective, aligning with the EU Green Deal priorities and challenges.
Facilitate access and increase usability of EO information
Improve reliability, robustness and accuracy of SDG indicator
Advance stakeholder capacity on UN SDG indicators
SDGs-EYES exploits and combines data from Copernicus’s six core services to develop more accurate SDG indicators.
Through a Pilot-driven approach, the project demonstrates Copernicus-enhanced measurement for six indicators, in addition to the formulation of a cross-goals indicator to explore the exposure of vulnerable communities under cumulative climate extreme hazards.
SDGs-EYES considers the following SDGs
The overarching objective of SDGs-EYES is to demonstrate the feasibility of tailored services, making them available to and exploitable by users to quantify selected indicators from three interconnected UN SDGs.
Indicators addressed
Number of deaths, missing persons and directly affected persons attributed to disasters per 100,000 population
—
Net Green-house Gas emissions from the LULUFC sector
—
Mean near surface temperature deviation
Indicators addressed
Global mean seawater
surface acidity
—
Marine waters affected by eutrophication
Indicators addressed
Share of forest area
—
Estimated soil erosion by water
Get to know the Consortium
The SDGs-EYES will be implemented by 10 partners who cover different disciplines. The consortium will strongly rely on collaboration, cross-fertilisation, and knowledge integration.

Exploiting Earth Observation (EO) capabilities to address SDGs indicators for the safety and security of the citizens
Within SDGs-EYES, SatCen is defining a workflow to calculate the indicator 13.1.1 “Number of deaths, missing persons and directly affected persons attributed to disasters per 100,000 population”, showing how EO data can become key to address critical situations in vulnerable regions.
SDGs-EYES user platform for National Statistical Offices (NSOs)
In the effort to enhance European SDGs monitoring, the EU-funded SDGs-EYES project is leveraging Copernicus for environmental sustainability.
SDGs-EYES will be in Vienna for the EGU24
After the opening of the call for abstracts in December 2023, and the receiving of a number of interesting abstracts, the session proposal that was submitted by EARSC and CMCC was successfully accepted by the organising committee of the EGU24.
Coming Up: pilot consultation workshops
The SDGs-EYES project builds a portfolio of data products to facilitate monitoring of SDGs. Service products will be developed and evaluated with user communities in five pilot areas. In the coming months, consultation workshops will be organised to demonstrate the data products and collect feedback.
Updates from The SDGS-EYES Coordinator
This new year has brought with it many changes to us all, and this wave of change even reached us at CMCC with the departure of the previous scientific coordinator and the assigning of a new one. The beginning of a new year also meant that a new phase of the project has started and many relevant scientific conferences will take place which will represent a great opportunity to further communicate the SDGs-EYES project
Our partner EARSC at the 16th European Space Conference
