EO tools to power up the Green Transition
ESA announced the Space for a Green Future (S4GF) Accelerator in 2021, as one of the instruments to drive Europe’s innovation and use of space to respond to the global climate and sustainability crisis. In particular, the S4GF initiative is meant to accelerate the Green Transition towards a carbon-neutral, sustainable, and resilient society.
Green Transition Information Factories (GTIF) are a central component of the S4GF ambition. This is a cloud-based environment, fed by EO information as well as other data sources, where intuitive tools are provided to various users to discover the underlying challenges and opportunities of transitioning to carbon neutrality by 2050 using the power of Earth Observation, cloud-computing and cutting-edge analytics.
GTIF addresses the information needs of the Green Transition and enables users to inform themselves and participate in the process. For this, GTIF provides interactive tools, indicators and scientific narratives made available through a central environment producing actionable information for different users, including decision makers, industry and citizens.
