TerraDT Webinar Report | Expanding Destination Earth: New Digital Twins for Climate, Urban and Weather Applications

Destination Earth (DestinE) is Europe’s flagship initiative to build an interactive, high-precision digital model of the Earth. Under the Horizon Europe call HORIZON-INFRA-2024-TECH-01-03: New Digital Twins for Destination Earth, three projects—TerraDT, UrbanAIR, and Weather Generator—have been launched in January 2025 to address key gaps in the current DestinE system. 

On 10th July 2025, a webinar was co-organised by these projects to showcase how each project focuses on a distinct but complementary aspect of Earth system representation: the cryosphere and land surface (TerraDT), urban heat and air quality (UrbanAIR), and probabilistic weather and climate scenarios (WeatherGenerator). The event included interactions with the audience, presentations and a final panel discussion, all summarised in this report. Read more to find out.
