The Digital Academy to access and use Climate Data and monitor Climate Risks supports citizens and stakeholders to access and use high quality, open source climate and risk data. The Digital Academy aims to identify, provide access to, and share guidance on how to use various open source climate, adaptation and risk data. It provides easy access to information and initiatives fostering climate adaptation at local and pan-European levels (e.g. from the Copernicus Climate Data Store and the PESETA studies), which also serve as examples of how open source climate and risk data can be applied in practice, and to data from citizen science activities (e.g., WeObserve). This academy also empowers citizens, stakeholders and policy makers through learning courses and technical reports on how to access and use climate data for adaptation and on how (and why) integrate this data with citizen science data. It contributes to enhance the visualization of climate information leveraging on existing best practices (e.g., ClimVis), through ad-hoc developed inventories.
