+ Destination Earth is a flagship programme of the European Commission that aims to + construct highly accurate models, or ‘digital twins’, of the Earth to monitor and + predict environmental change and human impact in support of sustainable development. + The initiative is implemented by ECMWF, ESA and EUMETSAT under the leadership of DG + Connect and in collaboration with over 100 institutions throughout Europe. Aligned + with the new Digital Europe funding programme, Destination Earth started in 2021, + with the first, high-priority digital twins serving extremes prediction and climate + change adaptation starting their production in 2023. +
++ The Digital Twin for Climate Change Adaptation, in which BSC plays a crucial role, + is a pioneering effort to operationalise the production of global climate + projections for the upcoming decades and provide globally consistent Earth system + and impact sector information from global to local scales. +
