Sustainable Development Goals

Contribution of AnaEE

As the RI in experimental ecosystem ecology, AnaEE goals are in line with the sustainable development goals (SDG) from the 2030 agenda for sustainable development adopted by all the United Nations Member States in 2015. AnaEE research contributes to these goals, helping EU to achieve them through science-based policies, economic development, support to better management practices, and by raising citizen awareness. As a body and employer, AnaEE-ERIC will also contribute to these goals.


 

	Balanced ecosystems, new management practices for agro-ecosystems value local food production, adaptation to changing climate conditions, helping farmers to live from their work.
	One of the main objectives of AnaEE is the development of adaptation and mitigation methods for agro-ecosystems, increasing their productivity in a sustainable way while keeping the quality of products.
	Biodiversity, ecosystem in good health, plant health, clean fresh waters are central for good health and well-being.
	AnaEE will provide material to the teachers, and its scientific results will have an impact on curricula, contributing to quality education. It will also contribute to capacity building
	AnaEE will have an equal opportunity policy for its staff. All staff members are treated in a fair manner and they have equal opportunity to achieve their goals in work.
	Core to AnaEE research are wetlands, rivers, lakes and sustainable agriculture, which include minimization of nutrient runoff to water reservoirs. The balanced and sustainable functioning of these ecosystems is central for preserving the resource in clean water. AnaEE research will contribute to public policies for the preservation of clean water.
	Ecosystems provide raw materials for energy production. AnaEE results will ensure that the production of energy from wood and plants will be sustainable, and respectful.
	Innovative management methods and technologies for the sustainability of ecosystems will result in new, often skilled, jobs in bio-economy. For agriculture, the solutions proposed by AnaEE will result in growth of farmers’ income.
	Innovative management methods and technologies for the sustainability of ecosystems will result in new, often skilled, jobs. This in turn will favorize the emergence of new business in the bio-economy.
	AnaEE will treat all staff members in a fair manner and they have equal opportunity to achieve their goals in work. Work and life of each staff member should be in balance. Better functioning agro-ecosystems result in the growth of the income for the farmer, and reduced inequalities.
	Sustainable agriculture leads to sustainable rural communities. In addition, ecosystems and the services they provide are central to the welfare of the citizens.
	AnaEE ERIC provides data on ecosystems which relates to anthropic induced changes. Results from the research performed at AnaEE will support science-based policies. Resources and GHG emissions will be saved by remote access to our experimental facilities.
	The research at AnaEE platforms is strongly focused on the impact of climate change on ecosystems as well as how we may benefit from ecosystems and intelligent management of them for climate mitigation purposes. AnaEE will propose adaptation and mitigation solutions to the society at large
	Among AnaEE core objectives, is the sustainability of continental water ecosystems. AnaEE will propose solutions for the adaptation and mitigation of wetland, lake and river ecosystems.
	As the experimental, pan-European research infrastructure for terrestrial ecosystems, AnaEE has a major role to play for the conservation and adaptation of life on land, including advising citizens and policy makers.
	Ecosystems provide essential resources for humanity and life on Earth. It will advise also the policy makers (science-based policy).
	AnaEE partners with scientists from all over the world, helping to build capacities in environmental research. It will also partner with NGOs and institutions for a better future. Finally, AnaEE partners already with RIs in the Food and Health, as well as in the environmental domains.
