EGI at COP 27, the UN Conference on Climate Change

EGI is proud to be, for the first time, at COP, the largest annual gathering on climate action. From 6 to 18 November, Heads of State, ministers, and negotiators, along with climate activists, mayors, civil society representatives, scientists and international organisations, are meeting in the Egyptian coastal city of Sharm el-Sheikh. At the Climate Change Conference (COP 27), countries come together to take action towards achieving the world’s collective climate goals as agreed upon under the Paris Agreement and the Convention.

EGI will be part of the side event organised in the Cryosphere pavilion.

Marta will speak about the GREAT, a project aiming at establishing the Green Deal Data Space Foundation and its Community of Practice building on both the European Green Deal and the EU’s Strategy for Data. The project will deliver a roadmap for implementing and deploying the Green Deal Data Space. This infrastructure will allow data providers and initiatives to openly share their data to tackle climate change in a multidisciplinary manner.

Marta will explain how the data users, providers and intermediaries can get involved and why.

The workshop part will then identify challenges and co-design best practices for data services & knowledge brokering.
