CURE – Copernicus for Urban Resilience in Europe

Cities are exceptionally vulnerable to climate change and their vulnerability is increasing over time. In this framework, the main goal of CURE is to demonstrate the potential of the Copernicus Core Services to provide reliable information for enhancing the resilience of European cities. In particular, 11 cross-cutting applications will be developed combining products from 4 different Copernicus Core Services (i.e., the Land Monitoring Service - CLMS, the Atmosphere Monitoring Service - CAMS, the Climate Change Service - C3S and the Emergency Management Service - EMS) with third-party data (e.g., in-situ measurements, street-view imagery, socio-economic data). Specifically, the envisaged applications address different fields, namely Nature Based solutions (NBS), urban flood risk, thermal comfort, air quality and health impacts.
