EEA SDI: Find geospatial data from the European Environmental Agency
on data.europa.eu
The European Environmental Agency Geospatial Data catalogue (EEA SDI)
is a service that facilitates the discovery of geospatial datasets
produced, acquired, and published by the European Environmental Agency
[https://www.eea.europa.eu/en] (EEA). This Agency aims to provide
knowledge and data on the state of Europe’s environmental, climate
change and sustainability issues, to support policy development and
efficient reporting infrastructures for data flows. 

The datasets available on EEA SDI include spatial datasets, series of
data, tabular datasets, catalogues, and other services. This content
is implemented in the open-source application GeoNetwork
[https://geonetwork-opensource.org/], which offers a wide range of
search functions and an interactive web map viewer. The application
allows users to browse for datasets by theme in compliance with the
INSPIRE directive [https://inspire.ec.europa.eu/metadata/6541], such
as land use, habitats and biotopes or atmospheric conditions.
Furthermore, datasets are also organised along EEA themes, such as air
pollution, climate mitigation and energy. 

EEA SDI data is used in a wide range of sectors, such as research on
the costs and benefits of climate change adaptation
[https://www.eea.europa.eu/publications/assesing-the-costs-and-benefits-of]
by looking at data on adaptation budgets, costs of measures in
adaptation plans and resources used for adaptation. Additionally, it
is used for research on the progress of European forest ecosystems
[https://www.eea.europa.eu/publications/how-are-european-forest]
considering the results of forest health monitoring systems in Europe
and data on the state of and trends in forests
[https://data.europa.eu/data/catalogues/eea-sdi?showcatalogdetails=true&locale=en&page=2&limit=10&query=forest].


Since 2022 you can find more than 700 EEA SDI datasets
[https://data.europa.eu/data/catalogues/eea-sdi?showcatalogdetails=true&locale=en&page=1&limit=10&query=]
on data.europa.eu, providing you with the knowledge and data needed to
contribute to a more sustainable Europe.
