GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security)

GMES, now called Copernicus, is a European program that uses satellites and ground-based data to monitor the environment and security worldwide. It provides critical information on weather, climate change, pollution, natural disasters, and maritime activities. This helps governments, scientists, and organizations make informed decisions to protect natural resources, respond to emergencies, and address environmental challenges. Think of it as a comprehensive, real-time eye on Earth's health and safety, combining advanced technology and data analysis to support sustainable development and security efforts.
