Or if a storm will flood a certain city? Or the best places to position your wind farm?

This information comes from satellites, like those of the EU\u2019s Copernicus programme. It will also come from IoT sensors on the ground as well as troves of governmental data.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To complete the digital twin of the Earth, future versions will include data from oceans, cities, forests \u2014 basically everywhere on our planet that scientists can analyse.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The EU first launched DestinE back in 2022. Over \u20ac300mn has been made available to build the digital twin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today\u2019s launch marks the end of the first phase and the start of the second phase, each of which will receive over\u00a0 \u20ac150mn in funding.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Funding for the third stage is subject to the agreement of the final Digital Europe programme 2025-2027, which is currently being drafted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The EU is far from the only organisation working on this type of tech. In March, <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/nvidianews.nvidia.com\/news\/nvidia-announces-earth-climate-digital-twin\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nvidia unveiled its own digital twin<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of our planet called Earth-2.
