GMES Services Delivery |
Climate change is one of the greatest environmental challenges the world faces today. The key question is how to handle its potential impacts. A European initiative designed to support organisations and decisions makers facing such issues is GMES – Global Monitoring for Environment and Security. By providing geo-information services, GMES significantly supports the day-to-day management of our changing world.
Infoterra has established a leading role in GMES, providing efficient and reliable services to significant GMES priority areas.
European land use/land cover state and change
Monitoring & periodical mapping of European land use serves as a basis for sustainable downstream applications, e.g. water quality assessment or spatial planning.

In addition, Infoterra is leading the BOSS4GMES (Building Operational Sustainable Services for GMES) project, which aims to ensure the development of an operational foundation for the long-term sustainability of GMES services, focusing on technology, business and communications. www.boss4gmes.eu
Infoterra is working towards establishing sustainable GMES services – making geo-information available to the decision-makers who need it, when they need it and where they need it.
The smart way of looking at the planet.
