The EU's Copernicus Earth Observation programme provides data from earth, sea, air and space, for free and alongside the tools to use them, to support decision-making, whether for policy, planning, business or science. This 1-hour, moderated Q&A panel event will introduce the benefits of Copernicus data and Services, and their added value in the context of climate adaptation, meaningful innovation, and change, with examples of real-world use.

Copernicus ServicesCopernicus is the European Union's Earth observation programme, looking at our planet and its environment to benefit all European citizens. It offers information services that draw from satellite Earth Observation and in-situ (non-space) data. Vast amounts of global data from satellites and ground-based, airborne, and seaborne measurement systems provide information to help service providers, public authorities, and other international organisations improve European citizens' quality of life and beyond. The information services provided are free and openly accessible to users. The Copernicus services transform this wealth of satellite and in situ data into value-added information by processing and analysing the data. These value-adding activities are streamlined through six thematic streams of Copernicus services: - Atmosphere - Marine - Land - Climate change - Security - Emergency The European Commission manages the Programme. It is implemented in partnership with the Member States, the European Space Agency (ESA), the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), EU Agencies and Mercator Océan.
