Eye on Earth: Eye on Earth is a ‘global public information network’ for creating and sharing information. All are invited to participate in the new and dynamic online ‘environmental community’ facilitated by EEA, technology leaders, cutting-edge innovations and cloud technology. It represents a good practice for implementing the principles of a Shared Environmental Information System (SEIS) for Europe. EEA will use Eye on Earth to support its expanding role as an agent of change that facilitates information sharing, and to strengthen its effectiveness and efficiency in collecting and providing environmental information. Users can choose to share information with closed groups or everyone. Data and information will come in a variety of formats alongside various tools. Maps can be viewed, created, interacted with, add custom features and shared. EEA will also use Eye on Earth to engage citizens.

Food for thought – sharing information on food production: Global food, energy and water systems appear to be more vulnerable and fragile than was thought a few years ago, due to increased demand for food, and a decreased and unstable supply, according to an EEA analysis.
