20 April 2021, Brussels/Rome - “New solutions and modern approaches” are needed to face global challenges such as hunger, poverty, climate change, environmental degradation and the socio-economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, FAO Director-General QU Dongyu said today at the launch of the European Commission’s new Knowledge Centre for Earth Observation (KCEO).
“Actionable information gained from earth observation data is an important enabler” for the transformation envisioned by FAO’s new Strategic Framework, which focuses on fostering more efficient, inclusive, resilient and sustainable agri-food systems, he said.
The KCEO aims to provide an agile internal coordination mechanism inside the European Union’s executive branch to maximize the uptake of products and information from the Copernicus Programme, the EU’s network of satellites and sensors.
1. Introduction
Metals, minerals and natural materials are part of our daily lives. Those raw materials that are most important economically and have a high supply risk are called critical raw materials. Critical raw materials are essential to the functioning and integrity of a wide range of industrial ecosystems. Tungsten makes phones vibrate. Gallium and indium are part of lightemitting diode (LED) technology in lamps. Semiconductors need silicon metal. Hydrogen fuel cells and electrolysers need platinum group metals.

Access to resources is a strategic security question for Europe’s ambition to deliver the Green Deal. The new industrial strategy for Europe proposes to reinforce Europe’s open strategic autonomy, warning that Europe’s transition to climate neutrality could replace today’s reliance on fossil fuels with one on raw materials, many of which we

The European Environment Agency (EEA) is an agency of the European Union established in 1990 and located in Copenhagen.
EEA’s main task is to provide sound, independent information on the environment and act as a major information source for those involved in developing, adopting, implementing and evaluating environmental policy, and also the general public.
Supported by the European Environment Information and Observation Network (Eionet), around 350 organizations across Europe through which environmental-related data and information are collected and disseminated, the Agency itself has 32 member countries.
EEA’s mandate is to help the European Community and member and cooperating countries make informed decisions on improving the environment, integrating environmental considerations into economic policies and moving towards sustainability. EEA also coordinates Eionet.
