GMES
Global Monitoring for Environment and Security
Mauro FACCHINI GMES Bureau SatExpo Europe 2010
Origins of EU involvement in Space Policy
1998/1999:
Common resolution on the reinforcement of the synergy between the ESA and the European Community (EC)
2000:
European Strategy for Space jointly adopted with a view to strengthen foundations (technology and access to space), enhancing scientific knowledge and reaping the benefits of space for markets and society
2003: ‘EC Green and White Papers’
Identification of space as a tool to support EU sectoral policy goals such as strategic non dependance, knowledge-based society, economic growth, security and defence
2003: ESA ‘Agenda 2007’
Adaptation of ESA to better respond to the needs of emerging (public or private) customers for space, incl. a new relationship with the EU
2004: ESA/EC Framework Agreement
Progressive development of overall European Space Policy by providing a common basis and appropriate operational arrangements for efficient and mutually beneficial ESA/EC cooperation. Creation of
Space Council (SC), Secretariat.
High-Level Space Policy Group (HSPG) and ESA/EC Joint
Priorities of European Space Policy
•
Flagship applications of European Space Policy 1) Galileo
The European initiative for a state-of-the-art global navigation satellite system, providing a guaranteed global positioning service under civilian control (constellation of satellites)
2) GMES
The European initiative for global monitoring for environment and security purposes, integrating space-based and in situ applications and services (pre-existing infrastructure + 5 new Sentinel families of satellites) Develop adequate funding instruments & schemes
What is GMES?
•Global Monitoring for ENVIRONMENT and SECURITY •An independent earth observation system for Europe •The largest fleet of satellites and atmosphere/earth-based monitoring instruments in the world •An end user-focused program of services for environment and security •Joined-up information for policymakers, scientists, businesses and the public •Europe’s response to the global need for environment and climate monitoring
What is the objective?
...to provide information services to policy-makers and other users EARTH OBSERVING SYSTEMS (space, airborne, in situ) Information Needs (policy driven) Space Agencies In-situ Observing systems Scientific Community EO Value Adding Industry PUBLIC POLICIES (Environment & Security) National Governments and Agencies European Union Institutions Inter-Governmental Organisations (IGOs) Non Governmental Organisations (NGOs)
EU Added value
• Relevance of EU level taking into account subsidiarities • Overall “information chain”: from observation to information required by the users • “System of systems“: mutualisation & long term sustainability of capacities & resources • Build on existing capacities in MS
GMES Overall View
USERS Policy Makers & Public & Private, Commercial What is their need?
Example Services Provided Farming Land Oil Spill Tracking Air Quality Flood Surveillance Marine Atmosphere Emergency Space Infrastructure & In Situ Infrastructure OBSERVATION Security Information Services Sustainable observation
GMES Components
GMES is an EU led initiative In-situ component – led by EEA
• Observations mostly within national responsibility, with coordination at European level • air-, sea- and ground-based systems and instruments
Space Component – led by ESA
• Sentinels - EO missions developed specifically for GMES: • Contributing Missions - EO missions built for purposes other than GMES but offering part of their capacity to GMES (EU/ESA MSs, EUMETSAT, commercial, international)

Expected benefits
•Benefits: •Short term: support to the implementation of running
policies and legislation
•Medium Term: support to the definition and
formulation of new policies
•Longer Term: impacting the formulation and
implementation of policies with a global reach
“ Failing to act on climate change would reduce global GDP by at least 5% annually, while mitigation would use 1% of global GDP annually”,
Sir N. Stern, Former Chief Economist of the World bank.

Some key milestones
1998 2000 Initiation of GMES, Baveno Manifesto Gothenburg EU Summit “establish by 2008 an operational European capacity for … GMES” 2001+ Investments by ESA and EC on services 2005 2007 2008 EU initiates “Fast-track” services; GMES becomes ‘flagship’ ESA C-MIN in Berlin funds Phase-1 of GSC Segment-1 ESA Phase-2 of Segment-1 approved EC-ESA agreement on GMES signed ESA C-MIN funds GSC Segment-2 2009 EC approves financing for GMES initial operations (GIO) 2012+ Launch of first GMES Sentinels
Next programmatic steps

Conclusion
•
GMES is implemented through
public investment
•
GMES has a
positive impact
growth, jobs and innovation on economy,
•
Full and open
