The consequences of climate change are increasingly felt across the world. Nature-based solutions, which consists of using natural resources to tackle environmental challenges, have an enormous (and still relatively unexplored) potential to reduce the impact of such disasters, while simultaneously providing environmental, social, and economic benefits and helping build resilience.

How can we exchange relevant, accurate and consistent data (sensors, geolocation indoor and outdoor, video, tactical situation, etc.) between different processes relying on different standards? How can we interface with the defence world in dual domains, such as CBRNE, security threats, operational data, etc.

This webinar will:
• address and clarify the current situation
• identify critical points
• identify a potential way out, propose improvements in standardization processes in security

This year the EU Single Market turns 30 and European standardization has been one of its success stories. EU standards are often invisible, but they are vital and everywhere, making consumers’ lives safer, fairer and easier.
The pace of change in this rapidly evolving world means standards have a crucial role to play in engaging with a broad range of stakeholders in an open and neutral process to anticipate future business and societal needs for standardization.

On the occasion of their recently renewed Cooperation Agreement, the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission (JRC), together with the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) and the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC) are hosting an event to celebrate the role of the European standardization system in support of strategic sectors for the future of the EU economy.
