On 27 July 2023, a joint statement was released by Copernicus and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) accompanied by Figure 1.
Copernicus is the Earth observation component of the European Union’s space programme and provides freely accessible data (including non-space data) related to our planet and its environment.
