The European Commission's Directorate-General for Environment is inviting you to the second session of its new workshop series supporting the forthcoming European Commission Communication on a Digitally Powered Green Transition and its accompanying Action Plan.

The upcoming workshop on "Last Mile Digital Applications for a Greener Future" will take place on:

📅 Date: Wednesday, 2 July 2025
🕒 Time: 10:00 – 12:00 (CEST)
🌐 Location: Online via Webex

The focus of this session is on “last mile” digital applications - how raw environmental data is processed, transformed, and delivered as actionable end-products to support monitoring habitats, biodiversity and other environmental parameters, to streamlining corporate sustainability reports, certifying nature credits, etc..

This event sets the stage for another follow-up thematic workshop and a final in-person validation workshop on 8 September 2025 in Brussels.
