Participate in the GreenData4All public consultation until Wednesday
30 April: Your voice matters!
As part of its effort to support the green and digital transitions,
the European Commission invites all stakeholders to take part in a
public consultation under the GreenData4All
[https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/13170-GreenData4All-updated-rules-on-geospatial-environmental-data-and-access-to-environmental-information/public-consultation_en]
initiative. The consultation is open to a wide audience – including
EU citizens, environmental and geospatial data experts, businesses,
NGOs, academia, and international partners – and aims to gather
feedback on how to improve access to and reuse of environmental data
across Europe. 

The GreenData4All initiative addresses the growing need for better
sharing of environmental data, which is crucial for developing
effective policies that protect our environment and foster a strong
data economy in the EU. Its objectives include improving data access
to boost competitiveness and innovation across the EU, supporting
environmental policy through user-focused data services, and promoting
digital transformation by modernising data-sharing frameworks. This
includes updating the INSPIRE Directive
[https://knowledge-base.inspire.ec.europa.eu/legislation/inspire-directive_en],
and aligning it with other EU data legislation, including the Open
Data Directive
[https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/legislation-open-data]
and the Data Governance Act
[https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/data-governance-act].  

Participants are invited to share their views by completing the online
questionnaire
[https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/13170-GreenData4All-updated-rules-on-geospatial-environmental-data-and-access-to-environmental-information/public-consultation_en],
which will remain open until 30 APRIL 2025. Insights from the
consultation will help shape future EU policy on environmental and
geospatial data, ensuring that it meets the needs of users and
supports Europe’s broader goals for sustainability and digital
transformation.
