"The Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) programme provides information that allows a better understanding of how our planet can be changed and the means by which this is done. Mitigating climate change, addressing emergencies, ensuring a better border control, improving security and alerting the citizens when air quality is deteriorating are all activities that depend on accurate and timely information about our planet. According to a cost-benefit analysis, it is estimated that the GMES programme will generate benefits worth at least twice the investment costs by 2020, and four times the costs by 2030. This represents a tremendous potential in terms of economic growth and job creation through the development of innovative services and commercial applications in the downstream sector. The European dimension of GMES creates economies of scale, facilitates joint investments in large-scale infrastructures, promotes coordination of efforts and observation networks, enables data harmonisation and intercalibration and provides the necessary impetus for the creation of global centres of excellence in Europe."@en1
