SAGE

SAGE will create a fully operational Green Deal Data Space (GDDS) designed to improve the accessibility, integration, and use of green and environmental data across the EU to bolster critical areas of the European Green Deal—Zero Pollution, Climate Adaptation, Biodiversity, and the Circular Economy Action Plan. Building directly upon the GDDS GREAT project community and results, and aligning with the Digital Europe Programme’s strategic focus on AI, cybersecurity, advanced computing, and data infrastructure, SAGE leverages outcomes from the European Strategy for Data and Research supported by Horizon Europe. SAGE’s outcomes include seamlessly integrating currently fragmented environmental data through federation, enriching data with consistent quality, validation, and interoperable metadata, and enhancing capabilities for data transformation, processing, analysis, forecasting, target setting, and performance monitoring. Targeting businesses seeking compliance with EGD regulations, government bodies optimising environmental impact, citizens and citizen scientists engaging in environmental stewardship, and researchers aiming to deepen our environmental understanding, SAGE aspires to foster informed decision-making and policy formulation based on robust data and evidence. Sustainability of this action will be guaranteed by the set-up of a company during the project lifetime able to operate the data space and scale operations.
