1. RECALLS that Copernicus is a civil, user-driven operational system, built to respond to major societal challenges and based on solid scientific expertise, that generates free and open access data and information; UNDERLINES that, with Copernicus, the Union is a worldwide leader with the ability to observe, to monitor the Earth and predict changes, in particular by using modelling, and to serve scientific, institutional and commercial users and that Copernicus is already delivering manifold tangible results for Europe, for example in climate services, environmental land, ocean and atmospheric monitoring, for disaster management and civil security;
2. UNDERLINES that, in order to keep Europe at the forefront, the continuity and continuous improvement of the Copernicus Services and of the in-situ and space observation capabilities and data should not only be guaranteed, but also improved upon and extended to new types of observation capabilities and to new services based on updated scientific and institutional user requirements and benefitting from the latest technological and scientific knowledge;
3. RECALLS that the vision of Copernicus by 2035 must take into account the main trends in terms of its core users and should closely follow the political priorities of the Union and its Member States, environmental challenges and technological advances while striving to increase its ability to address societal challenges under three pillars: the Green Deal, in particular the climate challenge, the digital transition, and civil security, together contributing to a more resilient Europe;
4. UNDERLINES that Copernicus’s success relies on the expertise of the Commission, the Member States, and core partners, i.e. all the organisations that bring their high-level know- how to Copernicus: the European Space Agency, the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites, the EU Space Programme Agency, the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, Mercator Ocean International, the European Environmental Agency, the EU Satellite Centre, the European Maritime Safety Agency, and Frontex, as well as European industry and research organisations; ACKNOWLEDGES that the governance of Copernicus has played and will continue to have a key role in the success
5. CALLS FOR the evolution of Copernicus Services and data by 2035 in order to meet the Green Deal climate and environmental goals, i.e. the transformation towards sustainable development, including climate change mitigation and adaptation, in particular through enhanced CO2 monitoring;
6. RECALLS that Copernicus provides scientifically relevant tools and indicators for assessing the current state of the climate, causes and trends, but also for long-term projections of climate change scenarios, thus providing valuable support to policy and decision-makers as well as economic actors and citizens; and HIGHLIGHTS the key role of Copernicus in ensuring the availability of critical data, in monitoring and measuring progress in achieving some of the goals of the Paris Agreement, including support to the estimation of global stocktake, and in decisions made at subsequent Conferences of the Parties;
7. UNDERLINES the key role Copernicus must play in supporting public decisions and actions, particularly in areas such as biodiversity and ecosystems, health as part of a ‘one health’ approach, support to clean energy, the fight against pollution, decarbonisation of economy and society, urban sustainability, transport and smart mobility, food and water resources, cryosphere, sustainable ocean management, coastal areas, maritime surveillance, forestry, sustainable agriculture, natural resources, cultural heritage, desertification, risk management and disaster management such as hydro- or geohazards;
8. UNDERLINES the importance of taking into account the following new trends in order to maximise their benefits for the Copernicus programme: i. On technologies: – Additional Earth observations through new measurements and instruments; – Additional Earth observations through new architectures and new business models, especially public or commercial constellations and New Space opportunities; ii. On science: – The impact of the evolution of computing science on numerical models of the Earth system in all its components, including the approach to coupled modelling systems and ensembles; iii. On digital: – The digital transformation, including high performance computing, big data analytics,
9. RECALLS the expectation of Member States that EU emergency management and security service capabilities in support of a more resilient Europe be developed; and HIGHLIGHTS the need to strengthen the security Service portfolio with developments such as more early warning and risk assessment capabilities for the monitoring and analysis of potential population displacement due to climate change impacts;
10. RECALLS the long-standing need for more reactivity and more precision in data acquisition and distribution, including through higher flexibility and timeliness in the programming of satellites over the requested area;
11. RECALLS that Copernicus user uptake is a priority and that the services, data and information must be user-friendly, relevant to societal, economic and environmental needs and useful first for public authorities, but also for scientific, economic actors and citizens;
12. UNDERLINES that easy and flexible access to and use of data, including all data necessary for Copernicus Services, must be facilitated and that Copernicus can contribute to the end-to- end development of a European value chain, including fostering the downstream sector, by implementing and promoting user-friendly and, as far as possible and where appropriate, energy efficient European data and information access platforms;
