👉 The Dec Project, or Digital Earth Challenge, is an initiative launched by the European Commission to foster the development of digital earth technologies that enhance environmental monitoring, resource management, and sustainable development. It aims to create a comprehensive digital twin of the Earth, integrating diverse datasets from satellites, sensors, and other sources to provide real-time, high-resolution information on the planet's ecosystems, climate, and human activities. By promoting collaboration among researchers, industry leaders, and policymakers, the Dec Project seeks to drive innovation in technologies like AI, IoT, and big data analytics, ultimately supporting evidence-based decision-making for a more sustainable future.
