Contributions will explore stakeholder-driven applications ranging from extreme event prediction to long-term climate adaptation\, urban liveability\, and marine and hydrological systems\, strengthening Europe’s digital twin ecosystem and its global relevance. Submit your abstract here. \n\nLeveraging Digital Twins for Earth: Advancing Predictive Models and Scenario Analysis\n\nConvener: Bertrand Le Saux (European Commission) | Co-conveners: Monique Kuglitsch (Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institut)\, Vitus Benson (Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry)\, Lorenzo Nava (University of Cambridge)\, Elena Xoplaki (CMCC Foundation – Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change). \nThis session examines how Digital Twins for Earth\, such as Destination Earth\, enhance hazard prediction\, scenario analysis and anticipatory risk management. \nBy integrating predictive models\, real-time observations and AI-driven tools\, digital twins enable “what-if” analyses\, hazard cascade simulations\, synthetic data generation and testing of adaptation strategies across multiple sectors\, including energy and food systems. \nThe session fosters cross-disciplinary dialogue on how the convergence of digital twins and AI can accelerate resilience and preparedness for climate-related risks and natural hazards. Submit your abstract here. \nThrough its participation in EGU General Assembly 2026\, Destination Earth reaffirms its role as a key European initiative advancing next-generation digital capabilities to support climate policy\, risk management and sustainable development at European and global scale. \nVisit the website URL:https://destination-earth.eu/event/destine-at-egu-general-assembly-2026/ LOCATION:Austria Center\, Bruno-Kreisky-Platz 1\, Vienna\, 1220\, Austria ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://destination-earth.eu/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/EGU-2026.webp END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
