Global Earth Observation – Benefit Estimation: Now, Next and Emerging (GEO-BENE)
In order to support the international negotiation processes connected to these areas and for the development of good policies the “Global Earth Observation – Benefit Estimation: Now, Next and Emerging” (GEO-BENE) project’s objective is to develop methodologies and analytical tools to assess societal benefits of GEO and to perform benefit assessments. The assessment will be carried out using quantitative and qualitative methods and data. Benefit assessment tools are centered around spatially explicit information applying deterministic and stochastic approaches. The various model structures will be applied to global data sets assessing benefit functions using harmonized socio-economic and technology scenarios. Concise policy conclusions from the modeling exercise will aim at supporting the implementation of international agreements.
