SDG entrepreneurship fuelled by Copernicus Earth Observation

Copernicus Earth Observation data can help manage the Earth’s finite resources, powering applications that matter to people’s lives. Such applications can also trigger new sustainable business opportunities.

One prototype developed during the 2019 G-STIC Copernicus hackathon addressed the challenge of monitoring Acid Mine Drainage to remedy environmental impacts. As the winning team moves forward to further develop this prototype into a Platform as a Service (PaaS), this provides an excellent example of how G-STIC triggers entrepreneurship for the SDGs.

Adapting to diseases carried by mosquitos

As Europe warms up, it becomes a more suitable home for the Asian tiger mosquito – one of the most potent virus spreaders. To help authorities understand related health risks, VITO has used data from the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) to create a tool that shows how conditions in Europe will help the tiger mosquito prosper.

This tool is one of many game-changing applications that were added in recent months to the C3S Climate Data Store (CDS). CDS applications make climate change data relevant for a wide range of sectors, with one of the most important sets of applications addressing the health sector.
