ABOUT
e-genesis in a nutshell
Earth Intelligence. Empowering people
Europe has access to an unprecedented wealth of Earth Observation data, scientific knowledge, models, and digital technologies. Yet, for many decision-makers, the challenge is no longer simply having access to data. e-genesis is turning that data into clear, actionable solutions that can support real-world decisions.
OUR PUSPOSE
Transforming data into informed action
e-genesis turns Europe’s wealth of Earth Observation, Earth science and digital resources into applicable Earth Intelligence integrated solutions helping connect the worlds that already co-exist — data and people, science and policy, technology and action.
By bringing together fragmented data, isolated models and services, AI and existing European capabilities, the project co-designs integrated, user-driven solutions that empower policymakers, authorities, businesses and other decision-makers to move from information to informed action. Across biodiversity, water, urban and energy sectors, e-genesis’ ambition is to connect knowledge, technology and users to deliver practical, scalable and operational solutions that can be embedded in real-world decision-making—strengthening Europe’s capacity to act on evidence against climate and anthropogenic challenges.
Earth Intelligence for all
A future where Earth Intelligence empowers people.
The real value of e-genesis lies in its vision to help Europe shift decision-making from reacting to environmental pressures towards anticipating them.
For biodiversity, this means identifying ecosystem changes and climate risks earlier. For water management, it means looking further ahead at potential shortages and availability. For cities and energy systems, it means anticipating combined pressures and periods of low renewable-energy availability.
To deliver innovative solutions
For social stability, ecosystem balance, and economic sustainability.
From neighborhood to global scale. Together with our users.
Our mission is to turn Earth Observation, Earth sciences and digital technologies, including AI and Generative AI, into practical Earth Intelligence that helps people and organisations make better decisions.
Through co-design, data integration and advanced modelling, e-genesis develops innovative solutions that are deployed and evaluated in real user environments, supporting resilient ecosystems, sustainable resources and thriving communities.
Measurable environmental, societal and economic value
By the end of the project, e-genesis aims to deliver:
“Leave no one behind”
Protecting lives, ecosystems and societal wellbeing while strengthening resilience.
e-genesis supports an inclusive, knowledge-driven green and digital transition, strengthens trust in science and policy, and helps vulnerable communities respond to climate and human-induced disturbances.

Our Contribution to SDG's
From protecting ecosystems and securing water resources to building climate-resilient cities and helathier societies, e-genesis pillars connect Earth Intelligence with the global ambition for sustainable development.
PILLAR A
Biodiversity Resilience & Informed Management of Protected Ecosystems
Protecting nature. Strengthening ecosystem resilience.
e-genesis advances the monitoring and understanding of biodiversity loss, ecosystem health and the impacts of climate-related disturbances, supporting more informed conservation, management and restoration of vulnerable and protected ecosystems.
CONTRIBUTING TO:
PILLAR B
Water Resilience Seasonal Outlook
Anticipating water challenges. Supporting smarter decisions.
e-genesis provides forward-looking intelligence on water availability, droughts and floods, connecting seasonal water conditions with the needs of communities, agriculture, energy and other sectors. The aim is to strengthen preparedness and enable more sustainable and resilient management of freshwater resources.
CONTRIBUTING TO:
PILLAR C
Resilience of Urban & Energy Sectors to Climate and Anthropogenic Disasters
Building healthier, cleaner and more resilient communities.
e-genesis brings Earth Intelligence to the neighbourhood scale, connecting heat stress, air pollution, CO₂ emissions, human exposure and energy systems. Its services support climate adaptation, cleaner energy, improved urban environmental management and better-informed action to protect citizens from environmental and climate-related risks.
