Learn about the key highlights of the webinar on ‘Stories of use
cases: Open data for the European Green Deal’
On Friday 17 March, the data.europa academy
[https://data.europa.eu/en/academy] hosted a webinar on ‘Stories of
use cases: Open Data for the European Green Deal
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gu5yJ99uKHE]’. It was the first in
a series of webinars on open data use cases that align and support the
achievement of the European Commission political priorities
[https://commission.europa.eu/strategy-and-policy/priorities-2019-2024_en].
During the session, participants were inspired by three open
data-driven initiatives that currently enable the green transition and
respond to environmental challenges in Europe.

The webinar started with an introduction to the objectives and
importance of the European Green Deal and the green transition.
Thereafter, the following three use cases, gathered from the Use Case
Observatory
[https://data.europa.eu/en/doc/use-case-observatory-3-year-monitoring-30-reuse-cases-understand-economic-governmental-social]
and the EU Datathon [https://op.europa.eu/en/web/eudatathon], were
presented by their representatives: 

 	* Environ-Mate [https://environ-mate.feld-m.de/]: an interactive
platform that empowers children with knowledge about climate change
based on scientific data and encourage them to become engage in
protecting the planet and fight for a greener future
 	* GeoFluxus [https://en.geofluxus.com/]: a platform where you can
find sustainable waste management solutions to process waste cheaper,
better, and closer to home.
 	* MyBioEUBuddy [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0TUBrXZ9p4]: an
application to help farmers and local governments find an ‘EU buddy
region’ on organic production. EU regions with the highest level of
bio-production are recognised and serve as ‘EU buddy region’
reference to design recommendations for other regions.

The webinar concluded with a panel discussion with the representatives
of the use cases, opening the floor for them to share insights and
discuss practices for a smoother green transition, while also
identifying possible gaps and areas of improvement.
