Destination Earth is a high precision digital model of the Earth.
It is the EU’s flagship initiative to create a digital replica of
our entire planet. "This replica is a Digital Twin in fact. It’s a
gigantic task, that requires the world’s biggest computing to
create the most precise data to tackle climate change.” That’s how
Dr. Peter Bauer describes this 7 billion Euro project which he
heads. It's part of the EU’s Green Deal to tackle climate change
and it is meant to provide pinpoint evidence-based support to
enable Member States to implement the green transformation.
Destination Earth aims to provide the complex software and hardware
environment needed for the next generation of very high-resolution
prediction models. By 2030, it is expected to have been achieved.
DestinE Actors: EU Commission, European Space Agency, European
Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts and European Organisation
for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites Peter Bauer talks
about: - How Destination Earth can help the planet to heal - first
digitally, then in reality - How to improve our understanding of
climate change and enable solutions at global, regional and local
level - How to predict where to live safely for the next five
decades - What Destination Earth has in common with the Metaverse -
Obstacles and finances including the impact of the energy crisis
