The European Environment Agency
(EEA) and Microsoft have announced a new
five-year alliance to develop an environmental information portal for more than
500 million citizens across Europe.
The plan is the first phase of a scheme to provide a global repository of
environmental information for experts, policymakers and individuals.
“To sustain the improvements in the environment made over the past few
decades, everyone needs to be involved and understand the consequences and
impact of their actions,” said Jacqueline McGlade, executive director of the
EEA.
The EEA envisages the repository evolving to include real-time satellite
information for emergency relief services, as well as other environmental
operations.
Microsoft will provide development services to help the EEA extend the
programme.
