Abstract: 
Climate change, pollution, natural resource exploitation and land use change are global threats to biodiversity and ecosystems. Quantifying their impact, however, is not easy. Rapid, reliable and repeatable monitoring of biodiversity data is needed at all scales, from local to global. In this context, the EU-funded B3 project will simplify and standardise access to biodiversity data using the essential biodiversity variables framework. The overall goal of the project is to facilitate access to tools in a cloud computing environment, in real time and on demand. B3 will pave the way for a future where primary biodiversity data are seamlessly integrated into monitoring and forecasting. This way, policy and management can proactively respond to problems.
