CLMS CITIES

The CLMS-Cities project focuses on enhancing the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service (CLMS) to support urban CO2 emissions monitoring. By integrating Copernicus satellite data with additional urban datasets, the project aims to provide cities with more accurate and actionable data on their carbon emissions, assisting them in achieving climate neutrality targets. The initiative seeks to improve CO2 modeling for urban areas at a resolution of 100m x 100m, which will help cities better understand their emissions, manage greenhouse gas inventories, and create effective mitigation strategies.

The CLMS-Cities project has the goal of demonstrating the scalability of these enhanced CLMS services, making them applicable to a broader range of cities, particularly those involved in the EU Mission for Climate Neutral and Smart Cities. It aims to showcase the operational feasibility of these services and ensure that they can be replicated across different cities, supporting efforts toward reducing CO2 emissions and achieving climate-neutral goals by 2050.

Latitudo 40 contributes to the CLMS-Cities project by providing expertise in Earth Observation and satellite data analytics. The company’s role involves improving CO2 emissions monitoring through the application of its carbon sequestration models and satellite-based analysis. Latitudo 40’s technology helps cities and other stakeholders benchmark their emissions and better understand the role of urban greenery in carbon sequestration, enabling more informed decision-making in the pursuit of climate neutrality.
