DESTINE-CSC-ECMWF - DESTINATION EARTH SERVICES - ECMWF/DESTINE/2022/DE_340 - CLIMATE ADAPTATION DIGITAL TWIN

Destination Earth (DestinE) will deploy several high resolution thematic digital replicas of the Earth system to monitor and simulate natural and human activities as well as their interactions, to develop and test scenarios that would enable more sustainable developments and support European policy making. DestinE is intended to unlock the potential of observations and both physics-based and data-driven models for achieving a break-through in the realism of the simulation of Earth-system components.
The high-priority digital twin on climate change adaptation will develop an enhanced simulation system, informed by observations and based on a new generation of Earth system models. This enhanced system will not only allow to realistically represent the Earth system but will also produce information at precisely those scales where the impact of climate change and extremes are felt and where key processes are observed thus allowing users from impact-sectors to access and exploit such information for their specific application.
