Project Overview

GreenEO is a Horizon Europe project that uses satellite data, environmental modelling, and digital tools to support sustainable land-use practices across Europe.
As environmental pressures intensify, such as urban expansion, pollution, biodiversity loss, and climate-related risks, GreenEO aims to deliver actionable information for policymakers, land managers, and communities.
The project supports the goals of the European Green Deal, particularly in the areas of clean air, biodiversity protection, and sustainable land management.

Key Focus Areas

GreenEO is structured around four key land-use areas, each representing a domain where improved environmental monitoring can drive more sustainable practices. These are linked by a central focus on transformative governance and supported by communication and coordination efforts.

Cities and Pollution Reduction

• High-resolution air quality mapping
• Tools to support urban zero-pollution strategies
• Indicators for urban greening and resilience

Forest Risk Management

• Forecasting tools for forest fire danger using satellite and weather data
• Integration of biomass, fuel moisture, and vegetation indices
• Application in high-risk regions across Europe

Agriculture and Nature Recovery

• Monitoring of ammonia emissions and nitrogen deposition
• Tools for biodiversity impact assessment in farmland
• Indicators for restoration potential and sustainable practices

Ecosystem and Biodiversity Monitoring

• Development of ecosystem condition and extent indicators
• Support for sustainability reporting under EU directives
• Open-access monitoring platforms for public and policy use

Green Governance & Use Cases

• Sustainable land use cases

Our project structure demonstrates our focus on integration across environmental challenges, with governance at the core.
