    RethinkAction supports the objectives of the EU Green Deal. This and related frameworks and regulations are in line with the Paris Agreement, which points to the critical role of the land use planning in reaching the long-term climate mitigation objectives. Land resources are also fundamental, even critical, to reach climate objectives and specific Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

    In this context, the RethinkAction project puts citizens and decision-makers at the heart of climate action by developing a cross-sectoral planning decision-making platform to foster climate action across Europe. RethinkAction therefore focuses on people and their ability to create change, rather than solely on technology and data.

    1. Empower citizens, stakeholders, and decision-makers to integrate climate change and climate action into the decisions that will affect our lives in the coming decades.
    2. Contribution to the use of information and data from the Copernicus programme and the GEO initiative.
    3. Improve robustness, predictive quality of data, as well as information and knowledge on climate adaptation and mitigation.
    4. Gradual change in the use of knowledge and information, so that users can become active players in climate protection.
    5. Make high-level information on climate change more accessible to people’s lives and to provide data in a format that makes it useful for its users. Make people understand how lifestyle changes affect land.
    6. Enhancing European capacity in terms of the availability of climate change adaptation and mitigation solutions, including by addressing sectoral and/or geographical gaps.
    7. Provide appropriate responses to the European and international climate policies to which we are committed Increase the resilience of society, organisations (private and public) and individuals to multiple risks.
    8. Support the development of the European Service sector regarding end-user climate services.
