The European Commission's call aims to enhance environmental observation systems by leveraging advanced technologies and governance models. The objective is to develop more cost-effective and user-friendly observing systems for monitoring environmental parameters such as greenhouse gas emissions and ozone-depleting substances. Proposals are expected to address barriers related to the usability, accessibility, and interoperability of observing systems. Innovative tools utilizing artificial intelligence, digital twins, and IoT technologies should be developed to optimize both orbital and non-orbital environmental observing systems. The call encourages international cooperation and the inclusion of social sciences and humanities to improve governance and decision-making. Projects should be aligned with global policies such as the Paris Agreement and the Montreal Protocol.
