It aims to create a digital simulation of Earth with a digital twin that will be used to better understand the effects of climate change and environmental disasters and to permit policymakers more effectively respond to these issues.
[1] The project Destination Earth embodies the wider scope of the Von der Leyen's Commission.
[5] It will use an unprecedented amount of real-time data from climate, meteorological, behavioral, atmospheric sensors to develop this high-precision model of our planet.
[4] This very precise digital model of the Earth would enable different user groups such as public groups and the scientific and private communities to monitor and simulate natural and human activity, and to develop test scenarios in order to better predict the effects of climate change .
It also gives the technical architecture necessary and the first mapping of already existing developments in Europe in the field of digital twins.
