The European Earth Observation (EO) Services industry welcomes the ambitious objectives set by the New European Forest Strategy alongside other EU Policy initiatives aiming at improving the quantity and quality of Europe's forests by 2030. Earth Observation capabilities, by delivering near-real time, consistent and tree-level information of the world's forests are a crucial tool to deliver Europe's forests goals. EARSC members are convinced that the urgency to act calls for action; it can be done now, at scale and with unprecedented precision, at high-cost efficiency. Against this context, the EARSC Position Paper on forest management (attached) strongly advocates for the systematic integration of EO data and services as operational tools in the design, implementation and evaluation of all ongoing and upcoming legislative and policy initiatives in the field of environmental protection, with particular regards to forests, biodiversity and the sustainability of supply chains.

In the context of the Proposal on methane emissions reduction in the energy sector, EARSC is convinced that the Regulation should include satellite-based data and services, such as Copernicus data, for the measurement, reporting and verification of energy sector methane emissions. In order to better understand the current state of the technology with the existing operational solutions as well as the potential of satellite capabilities, we have prepared a technological feasibility assessment document
