The SAGE projectestablish a fully operational Green Deal Data Space (GDDS) aimed at enhancing the accessibility, integration, and utilization of green and environmental data across the EU.
The European Green Deal Data Space (GDDS) is a digital environment designed to facilitate the secure and reliable sharing of environmental data across the EU. It aims to support the goals of the European Green Deal by making environmental data accessible, interoperable, and reusable to address challenges like climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution.
What is a Green Deal Data Space (GDDS)?
The Green Deal Data Space (GDDS) is one of the European Commission’s flagship initiatives under the European Strategy for Data. Its purpose is to integrate large volumes of cross-sectoral data to support the objectives of the European Green Deal—Europe’s roadmap for a climate-neutral, resource-efficient economy by 2050. The GDDS will bring together data related to biodiversity, pollution reduction, circular economy, climate action, sustainable mobility, and environmental compliance.
By connecting currently fragmented datasets from public authorities, private companies, and even citizen-generated sources, the GDDS will create a trusted environment for sharing high-quality, interoperable data. It will be built on FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) and strong governance frameworks to ensure transparency and trust.
