The DestinE Platform

Destination Earth (DestinE) is an initiative, funded by the European Commission, that aims to develop a 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.

ESA is responsible for the development of the DestinE Platform and its ecosystem of services. During the second phase of DestinE’s development, the DestinE Platform became operational and by the end of 2025 the user community grew from zero to more than 5000 people, while the number of services increased from around 10 to more than 30.
