Copernicus Foundation Models for a Thinking Earth

Earth observation models are becoming increasingly more accurate but still or complex Earth systems, uncertainty is unavoidable.

The volume of Earth observation data is growing at an unprecedented pace. Every day, satellites capture vast amounts of information about our forests, oceans, cities, agricultural land and changing climate. The challenge is no longer collecting data, it is making sense of it accurately and at scale.

Climate change is reshaping our planet at an unprecedented pace. Across Europe, rising temperatures are contributing to more frequent heatwaves, prolonged droughts, devastating wildfires, floods and other extreme weather events. These changes are not isolated; they are interconnected, affecting ecosystems, biodiversity, water resources, agriculture and the communities that depend on them. As environmental challenges become more complex, so too must the way we understand and respond to them.
