Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S)
The Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) provides authoritative information about the past, present and future climate, as well as tools to enable climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies by policy makers and businesses.
The key products and services comprise are the following categories:
The climate bulletins consist of monthly maps, presenting the current climate condition, using key climate change indicators. Additionally, C3S provides map analyses and guidance on how they are produced.
The CDS provides a single access point to a wealth of freely available quality-assured and cloud-distributed climate datasets. These datasets include among others observations, historical climate data records, and Essential Climate Variables (ECVs) estimates derived from Earth observations. Additional to the datasets, the CDS includes tools to analyse and predict the climate change’s impact. CDS users can access these tools to develop their own applications online and visualize their analyses. The CDS data and tools are the backbone of the C3S Sectoral Information System (SIS), which provides tools and applications for dealing with climate impact in different industrial sectors, including energy, water management, and agriculture.
This consists a range of showcases (case studies, use cases, and demo cases) around key sectoral themes to address climate-related issues that businesses or communities are facing across Europe. Demonstrator projects explore how the C3S data can be used to address key climate challenges in different sectors. Data tools and indicators are created that can be used by industry to help drive adaptation to climate change.
