www.mersea.eu.org IGST – Exeter - 14 November 2005 GMES – Global Monitoring for Environment and Security A joint project of European Commission and European Space Agency. First conceived in 1998 To support the monitoring needed to pursue European policies for sustainable use and protection of the environment Monitoring system includes space, in situ and modelling components Services delivering benefits are part of GMES GMES is viewed as the European level contribution to GEO Sustainability of monitoring system is a key issue
