Climate change is leaving its mark – especially in the Baltic Sea region, profound changes can be observed that have a noticeable impact on the marine environment and the surrounding areas. With an annual temperature increase of 0.1°C in the north and 0.7°C in the south, warming in the region is above the global trend, putting ecosystems and the health of the population at risk. To tackle this challenge, the European Space Agency (ESA) is funding the „Green Transition Information Factories (GTIF) Kick-Starters: Baltic“ project, or Baltic GTIF for short. Through the GTIF initiative ESA aims to create innovative capabilities that combine Earth Observation data with modern analytics and cloud computing technologies to address Green Transition related information needs as expressed by regional stakeholders. After a successful GTIF Demonstrator for Austria (https://gtif.esa.int/), the aim is now to scale up and customise services to various European regions, one of which is the Baltics, with Lithuania as a pilot partner and the coverage eventually comprising also Estonia, Latvia, Poland and Germany. The project is being implemented by a European consortium under the coordination of OHB Digital Connect GmbH, a subsidiary of the space and technology group OHB.
This stakeholder consultation meeting offers the opportunity to get in touch with the project team right at the start of the project and to shape the services with and according to your own needs.
