Sustainable Development Goals & European Green Deal

AnaEE-ERIC’s contribution to global sustainability goals

AnaEE-ERIC and the European Green Deal

As a pan-European research infrastructure in ESFRI’s Food and Health and Environment domains, AnaEE directly supports key European Green Deal objectives:

Climate Ambition (2030/2050): AnaEE’s core mission aligns with the EU’s climate adaptation strategy by developing and testing mitigation and adaptation measures in response to global environmental changes.


Farm to Fork Strategy: Through experimental facilities in agro-ecosystems and aquatic environments, AnaEE studies agricultural techniques that preserve ecosystem functioning and enable climate adaptation. Farmer representatives participate in the Stakeholder Committee to ensure practical relevance.


Ecosystems and Biodiversity: AnaEE tests restoration and conservation measures that support evidence-based regulations, with jurists and policymakers integrated into the Stakeholder Committee.


Zero Pollution Ambition: AnaEE’s experimental platforms assess pollutant impacts on terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and forecast future effects, helping evaluate pollution prevention policies.


AnaEE-ERIC and the Sustainable Development Goals

AnaEE-ERIC transforms ambition into evidence—our experimental infrastructure provides the scientific foundation Europe needs to achieve the Green Deal’s targets and the SDGs, turning policy commitments into measurable, nature-based solutions.

Director General

    As the Research Infrastructure in experimental ecosystem ecology, AnaEE’s 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.

    2. Zero Hunger

    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.

    6. Clean Water

    Core to AnaEE research are wetlands, rivers, lakes and sustainable agriculture, which include minimization of nutrient runoff to water reservoirs.

    11. Sustainable Cities & Communities

    Sustainable agriculture leads to sustainable rural communities. In addition, ecosystems and the services they provide are central to the welfare of the citizens.

    13. Climate Action

    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.

    15. Life on Land

    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.
