Innovative governance, environmental observations and digital solutions in support of the Green Deal (Horizon Europe)

Taking advantage of the use, uptake, and deployment of environmental observations as well as digital and data-based green solutions, assessed through the European Green Deal’s ‘do no harm’ principle, is key for innovative governance models and for designing, implementing and monitoring science-based policy. To maximise impacts of R&I on the ground and spark behavioral and socio-economic change, the knowledge and innovation produced throughout the whole cluster should be widely disseminated to and exchanged between the key stakeholders and end users. In particular, the Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation Systems (AKIS) need to be strengthened in line with the 2023-2027 CAP to accelerate the required transformative changes.

It covers the following impact areas:

• Climate change mitigation and adaptation
• Clean and healthy air, water and soil
• Enhancing ecosystems and biodiversity on land and in water
• Sustainable food systems from farm to fork on land and sea
• High quality digital services for all
• A Competitive and secure data-economy

What is the goal to be achieved?

Proposals for topics under this destination should set out a credible pathway contributing to innovative governance and sound decision-making on policies for the green transition and more specifically to one or more of the following impacts:

• innovative governance models enabling sustainability and resilience notably to achieve better informed decision-making processes, societal engagement and innovation;
• areas related to the European Green Deal benefit from further deployment and exploitation of environmental observation data, products and “green” solutions;
• a strengthened Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS);
• sustainability performance and competitiveness in the areas covered by Cluster 6 are improved through further deployment of digital and data technologies as key enablers;
• stakeholders and end users including primary producers and consumers are better informed and engaged thanks to effective platforms such as AKIS;
• strengthened EU and international science-policy interfaces to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
