Collaboration among Europe's leading climate scientists

The EU has set ambitious emission reduction targets that include land-based carbon sources and sinks. To meet these targets and to monitor progress, there is a strong need for reliable data that can be updated frequently and adapted to land management policies for reducing fossil fuel emissions.
We aim to respond to these needs by combining Earth Observation data from remote sensors and incorporating them into different carbon modelling approaches, benefiting from the expertise of 21 European partners.
