This action aims delivering additional proof-of-concept and further services for Sectoral Information system, which would enrich the service and products portfolio offered by the Copernicus Climate Change Service.
The Copernicus Climate Change Service, which aims to provide information that will help societal and business sectors improve decision-making and planning regarding climate mitigation and adaptation, is currently running 7 proof of concepts projects, in the areas of: water sector, energy, insurance, agriculture as well as infrastructure and health sectors.
The proposed activity aims at delivering 3 additional pilot activities in three European countries, which would provide the proof of concept for following emerging problems:
- Land degradation in the form of soil erosion (Greece)
- Pest monitoring (Italy)
- Land use change (Poland)
If the models and methods developed by the consortium partners would be proven accurate and operational, they could feed the Copernicus Climate Change Service and contribute for the wide spectrum of Users.
All the ideas proposed under this activity are within the scope of research of proposed partners, namely: Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (Greece), Sapienza Universita di Roma – Scuola di Ingegneria Aerospaziale and Silex Clouds S.R.L. (Italy) and the Institute of Geodesy and Cartography.
The main achievements are:
- open-access products/services
- updated maps of plant disease distribution,
- identifying areas at risk of new epidemics related to climate change - impact of seasonal climate changes on the spread of plant's diseases
- development of a synthetic land degradation indicator
