Cost-Benefit analysisCost-Benefit analysis

• Using a system dynamics model, the FeliX Using a system dynamics model, the FeliX modelmodel1)1), , cumulative benefits cumulative benefits could increase could increase further by a factor of between further by a factor of between 5 and 105 and 10

• This could lead to benefits by 2030 This could lead to benefits by 2030 in the order in the order of €200 Bnof €200 Bn

• So Copernicus will result in So Copernicus will result in benefits many benefits many times larger than the EU investmenttimes larger than the EU investment
