Destination Earth ready for phase 3

Destination Earth (DestinE) is an initiative, funded by the European Commission, to develop a highly accurate digital twin, or replica, of our planet. This twin will be used to monitor the effects of natural and human activity on our planet, anticipate extreme events and adapt policies on climate-related issues.

Destination Earth is led by the European Commission and is implemented by ESA together with the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) and the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (Eumetsat). More than 100 public and private partners are involved in building the system.

ESA develops and operates the DestinE Platform, an open and secure cloud environment that will support DestinE data exploitation with the aim to meet the needs of a large and diverse community that includes citizens, scientists and academics, commercial entities and policymakers.
