Objective
Global Earth Observations are instrumental to attain sustainable development goals and are major drivers of how the society - technology - environment system is managed. An integrated economic, social and environmental assessment of the nine benefit area s of GEO has not yet been carried out. These benefit areas are: Disaster, Health, Energy, Climate, Water, Weather, Ecosystems, Agriculture and Biodiversity. In order to support the international negotiation processes connected to these areas and for the development of good policies the "Global Earth Observation - Benefit Estimation: Now, Next and Emerging" (GEO-BENE) project's objective is to develop methodologies and analytical tools to assess societal benefits of GEO.
The assessment will be carried out using quantitative and qualitative information. Benefit assessment tools are cantered on spatially explicit information applying deterministic and stochastic approaches. The various model structures will be applied to global data sets assessing benefit functions using harmonized socio-economic and technology scenarios. Concise policy conclusions from the modeling exercise will aim at supporting the implementation of international agreements. In the proposal we advocate a spatially explicit approach for benefit estimation motivated by the fact that activities underlying the nine benefit areas of GEO are by their very nature spatial entities and aggregate non-spatial treatment could, according to our experience, lead to serious biases in the assessment.
We propose a simple and easily tractable static and deterministic approach for the aggregate benefit calculation and also more comprehensive, dynamic, and uncertainty augmented assessment. We believe that such a multi-dimensional approach is necessary since the underlying processes of the benefits areas are complex and consistency across a variety of decision rules should guarantee robustness of the final aggregate ben
