Over the past months, SDGs-EYES has been actively working to deliver a portfolio of results aimed at enhancing Europe’s capacity to monitor progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through a combination of technical development, stakeholder engagement, and policy dialogue, the project continues to demonstrate how Earth observation and data-driven services can support evidence-based decision-making.
Between January and May 2025, we organised a series of User Uptake Webinars as a direct continuation of the co-design workshops and test validation activities. These events provided an opportunity for potential users to contribute to the development and evaluation of the pilot services.
In July, we held two dissemination webinars to provide an update of the SDGs-EYES services. The webinars showcased the range of services developed under the project aimed at enhancing understanding and awareness of the impacts of climate change, both to the environment and people.
Beyond these events, the project has carried out dissemination and outreach efforts. We have published the first two policy briefs: one dedicated to presenting the FIRE-TRACE new tool for advancing greenhouse gas monitoring for climate-related SDG reporting, and the other on how Earth observation-based solutions can bridge critical data gaps in support of SDG 14 indicators (Life Below Water). In addition, some scientific publications have been accepted, further contributing to the knowledge base and visibility of the project.
Last but not least, we have produced a project video that captures the essence and impact of SDGs-EYES. Watch it and share it to help spread awareness of the project’s key results and contributions!
As we move into the concluding phase of SDGs-EYES, efforts are now focused on finalizing the services and supporting their uptake and integration into policy and operational frameworks. The final project event is being planned for 26–27 November 2025 in Lecce, Italy, with the option to participate online. This event will present the project’s main results, key lessons learned, and future opportunities for the exploitation and scaling of SDGs-EYES services.
For now, the SDGs-EYES Team wishes you a pleasant summer break!
