GMES Services
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 Ltd has established a leading role in GMES, providing efficient and reliable services to significant priority areas.
Humanitarian relief
Geographic information is vital to the humanitarian services across the world, to assess damage from disasters including earthquakes, hurricanes and floods as well as to monitor complex crises.
The Respond project, funded by ESA and managed by Infoterra Ltd, delivers this geographic knowledge.
Operational Sustainable Services
Infoterra Ltd 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.
Infoterra Group 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.
