Our world – our goals: citizen science for the Sustainable Development Goals

We, the authors, call on European institutions, EU member states and their research and • To promote and create synergies, systems should be established to increase the innovation funding and performing organisations, private companies and civil society to coordination and exchange of citizen science information and tools relevant to the make citizen science a key factor across all policies and activities relevant to the SDGs, SDGs, across countries and at the global level, and across thematic areas. including in shaping and implementing the European research agenda. • To ensure and increase the usability and acceptance of citizen science data and evidence in efforts to achieve the SDGs, citizen science communities should To achieve these, we make the following recommendations. communicate transparently on the methodologies they use, potential bias in the data they generate, and their data quality management strategies. RECOMMENDATIONS • Authorities across Europe should further promote, encourage and support the application of data-management and data-sharing principles (e.g. FAIR11 and open 1.

Lightning talks are short presentations on a particular theme. In this session, projects with significant citizen science activities and achievements will have the opportunity to present their work in relation to other themes relating to the SDGs, such as disaster response, cli- mate change, inequalities, and responsible production and consumption.

The main focus lies on the results from the WeObserve Open Data Challenge and hackathon that harness the value of citizen science data for tackling real world environ- mental challenges as well as promote aspects of interoperability between COs. Additional- ly, success stories where citizen science data are combined with conventional sources of Earth Observation data are presented.
