Scope:
Funding: Federal Environment Agency Germany (Umweltbundesamt - UBA)
Time period of project: May 2015 – February 2016
Objectives: We aimed to assess and evaluate the potentials of earth observation data and
products, especially provided by European’s Copernicus programme, for measuring indicators of
the German strategy for climate change adaptation (Deutsche Anpassungsstrategie an den
Klimawandel – DAS). Thereby, we pursued two major objectives:
 To improve existing and to develop new indicators for the DAS, based on remote
sensing products from Copernicus
Scope
Conclusions
 To identify and recommend potentials for improvement for the Copernicus services in
order to enable a consistent climate change monitoring

Conclusions / Recommendations:
• Copernicus provides large potential for climate impact assessment and monitoring
 Sentinel satellites  High spatial & temporal resolutions. Allows calculating highly
