The ClimateLENS consortium convened for Technical Meetings 2 & 3 together with the extended project team, Advisory Board members and key stakeholders to further advance the prototype system concept design. Building on the project’s objective to develop an Earth Observation (EO)-integrated Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) system for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and removals and climate protection indicators, the meetings focused on refining the methodological blueprint across work packages and detailed tasks.
Technical Meeting 2 addressed the development of GHG emissions reporting across scales, from national to NUTS-2 and LAU-2 levels, with a particular focus on LULUCF and atmospheric modelling approaches. Technical Meeting 3 concentrated on advancing GHG monitoring and the development of climate protection indicators, with dedicated applications for urban environments.
Following the presentation and discussion of both prototype components, Advisory Board Meeting 1 provided a platform to gather expert recommendations on the overall system concept design. Contributions from representatives at city, regional, and national levels will support the further development of a scalable and interoperable system, strengthening European connectivity and ensuring alignment with future operational needs.
Together with our partners Floodlight, Letospace, GeoSphere Austria, World Data Lab, SISTEMA, and University of Vienna, we’re working towards a protoype system blueprint that is interoperable, scalable, and connected across European governance levels.
These meetings represent a key milestone in the iterative co-design process of ClimateLENS, reinforcing its stakeholder-driven approach and supporting the transition towards an operational EO-based climate monitoring system.
