Online Green open data is an essential resource to meet the objectives of the Green Deal, including those related to climate change, the circular economy, pollution, biodiversity and deforestation. Data can enable the development of environmentally friendly transport and energy systems, as well as greener and more sustainable cities.
The public availability and access to environmental data increase the transparency of political, industrial and financial decisions, enhance trust and make all actors accountable to steer for a fair and inclusive green transition that will strengthen environmental democracy. Bringing such data together in a EU common data space will fuel actionable insights and applications that increase the effectiveness of our policies, guide consumers and producers towards more sustainable choices and reduce the costs of the transition.
