If you’ve ever wondered how satellite data can drive sustainable change, the SDGs-EYES project offers an insightful approach. Part of the Horizon Europe initiative, this project uses data from the Copernicus services to keep a close eye on the Sustainable Development Goals.
Aligned with the EU Green Deal, SDGs-EYES champions a collaborative, multi-sector approach to tracking progress. The project zeroes in on critical indicators such as SDG 13 (Climate Action), SDG 14 (Life below Water), and SDG 15 (Life on Land), ensuring that sustainability measurements really resonate with on-the-ground needs.
The team has built a suite of decision-support tools that make tracking these indicators easier for national statistical offices, environmental agencies, and forest managers alike. By co-designing with these stakeholders, the initiative delivers practical solutions that naturally fit into everyday sustainability work.
Working within established United Nations frameworks, SDGs-EYES refines Earth observation data to offer clear, actionable insights. This means data isn’t just collected—it’s transformed into meaningful guidance that supports real-world climate action.
