This deliverable constitutes a White Paper draft with a final Version (Issue 2) presented in M36. It will comprise the project’s main findings and achievements with respect to the Copernicus Land component’s Evolution. It will be targeting mainly decision makers in the European Commission and Entrusted European Entities. One focus will be on summarising the outcome of the whole Task 5, and providing the rationale behind each suggested operational candidate product, together with a related clear justification as to why it should become part of the Copernicus service evolution, specifically in view of policy requirements and stakeholder needs.
