Climate services are capable of integrating climate information to support policymaking, planning and management on timescales that extend from months to decades. They are tailored to users’ needs and provide additional information on concerns such as crop pests and disease, water management, insurance decisions, urban planning, maintenance and resilience of infrastructure and related investments, and healthcare management. Climate services have been a key research and innovation priority under Horizon 2020 with several call topics dedicated to advancing this area and further supporting the implementation of the Paris Agreement, the EU Strategy on Adaptation to Climate Change, and the European Green Deal. This funding leverages on the wealth of data provided by the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S). It has been instrumental in the emergence of a climate services market through activities that generate economic value from available climate information, provide demonstrable benefits and solutions to society, make efforts to mitigate and adapt to climate change more cost-effectively and, in turn, render the European economy more competitive.
