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.
In a nutshell, SDGs-EYES aim to:
Facilitate access and increase usability of EO information
Improve reliability, robustness
and accurancy of SDG indicator
Advance stakeholder capacity to deliver economic, social and policy value to European society in the context of UN SDG indicators
SDGs-EYES exploits and combines data from Copernicus’s six core services to develop more accurate SDG mindicators.
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.
13.1.1
Number of deaths, missing persons and directly affected persons attributed to disasters per 100,000 population
13_21
“Net Green-house Gas emissions from the LULUFC sector”
13_30
“Mean near surface temperature deviation”
15_10
“Global mean seawater
surface acidity”
15_50
“Marine waters affected by eutrophication”
15_10
“Share of forest area”
15_50
“Estimated soil erosion by water”
The approach of SDGs-EYES
The project methodology consists of a combination of a science-informed (top-down) approach with aparticipatory stakeholder-driven (bottom-up) approach. This enables the inclusion of targeted and balanced engagement of public and private actors, which will enable for better evaluation and quality assurance of the delivered products and services.
Get to know the Consortium
The SDGss-EYES will be implemented by 10 partners who cover different disciplines. The consortium will strongly rely on collaboration, cross-fertilisation, and knowledge integration.
The SDGs-EYES project is funded by the European Union | Credits
