They provide reliable access to high-quality climate data. We do this through our Climate Data Store (CDS). We also offer tools and expert guidance that make it possible to transform the data into more visual products, such as maps and charts. Copernicus is the European Union's Earth Observation Programme, looking at our planet and its environment for the ultimate benefit of all European citizens.

We continuously engage with users and independent experts to evaluate our services and ensure that they are fit for purpose. ## Climate Data Store Our Climate Data Store offers a wide range of high-quality climate datasets, together with the tools needed to process the data online. ## Climate Bulletins / Information We publish monthly climate bulletins with up-to-date information about recent climate events, the annual European State of the Climate and key indicators of climate change.
