These models will monitor, simulate, and predict the Earths climate in great detail.
DestinE is powered by Europes high-performance computers (EuroHPC), including the LUMIsupercomputerin Finland.
The developers have combined this with AI to boost data processing speeds.

Digital twin of the Earth
Want to test how a heatwave will impact food security?
Or if a storm will flood a certain city?
Or the best places to position your wind farm?
All of that could be possible using the digital twin of the Earth.
The digital twin draws on a vastdatalake to make its predictions and simulations.
This information comes from satellites, like those of the EUs Copernicus programme.
It will also come from IoT sensors on the ground as well as troves of governmental data.
The EU first launched DestinE back in 2022.
Over 300mn has been made available to build the digital twin.
The EU is far from the only organisation working on this key in of tech.
In March,Nvidia unveiled its own digital twinof our planet called Earth-2.
One of the themes of this years TNW Conference is Ren-AI-ssance: The AI-Powered Rebirth.
