The European union space programmes: European global navigation satellite system and copernicus
The following sections introduce the infrastructure and market aspects of Galileo and EGNOS as well as their main application areas.
European global navigation satellite system-copernicus contribution to individual SDGs
Even though the SDGs are not legally binding governments are expected to take ownership and establish national frameworks for the achievement of the 17 Goals introduced previously and presented in figure VIII. Countries have the primary responsibility for follow-up and review of the progress made in implementing the Goals which will require quality accessible and timely data collection.
European global navigation satellite system-copernicus synergies in support of the SDGs
Between the providers of satellite signals/data and final users there are many actors that support the final implementation of end-to-end solutions. Their overall role in offering the best value to users and citizens is critical and may have a large impact on how the space technologies eventually contribute to the SDGs. The value chains of the two European flagship programmes EGNSS and Copernicus present many commonalities despite the complementary nature of the services they provide. As highlighted in figure VI four common levels can be identified between the two value chains:
Background of the study
The General Assembly resolution entitled “Transforming our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”3 calls for the exploitation of a wide range of data including Earth observation (EO) data and geospatial information in order to support the sustainable development of nations and regions. Space technology is one of several technologies essential for successfully implementing the 2030 Agenda. It provides data information and services that directly or indirectly contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) or to assessing and monitoring progress towards achieving the Goals.
Foreword
It is with great pleasure that I present this joint study on the role of global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) and Earth observation (EO) with special focus on European GNSS and Copernicus in supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Foreword by the Director of the Office for Outer Space Affairs
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development came into effect on 1 January 2016. The Agenda is anchored around 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which set the targets to be fulfilled by all governments by 2030. The demanding Goals set out by this Agenda cannot be reached without a concerted effort on the part of institutions and will require the use of the right tools. In SDG 17 the Agenda itself stresses the need for partnerships to reach its Goals.
