  1. Environmental data centres (EDCs) and EEA Biodiversity data centre (BDC) Mette Lund Biodiversity group EEA

  2. ”Political” agreement on EDCs by DG Env, Eurostat, JRC and EEA based on shared responsibilities in 2005 • EEA • Air - Biodiversity - Climate change - Land use - Water • JRC • Forest - Soil • Eurostat • Natural resources and products - Waste

  3. EEA EDCs

  5. BDC main functions • Data collation (e.g. data flows related to Nature Directives, EEA priority data flows) • Data standardisation (e.g. harmonized datasets for cross border comparison, reference for species/habitats in European legislation, EUNIS habitats classification) • Data analysis (generation of statistics and indicators, e.g. SEBI) • Publication (e.g. easy and interactive access to biodiversity data, maps, graphs, tables) With the support of ETC/BD and in cooperation with DG Env

  7. BDC main focus • Contains data and information on species, habitats and protected sites in Europe • Species of the Nature Directives + Red listed species + EUNIS • Habitat types of the Nature Directives + EUNIS • Sites of the Nature Directives (Natura 2000) + Nationally designated areas (CDDA) + EUNIS

  8. BDC data flows • EU reporting – Birds and Habitats Directives (Natura 2000 sites, Article 17 - conservation status) • EEA priority data flow – Nationally Designated Areas (CDDA) - Pan European level, feeds into WCMC world database of protected areas

  9. Plans and challenges • New data needs (e.g. invasives, pollinators, crop wild relatives, adaptation to climate change) • Improve interoperability between EDCs • Improve handling of statistics • Global information sharing (e.g. GBIF) • Integrate outcomes from EU research projects (e.g. LifeWatch, EBONE) • Mobilising NGO data and citizen observations
