Accurately evaluating the EU’s climate targets is currently constrained by gaps in monitoring greenhouse gas (GHG) exchanges and ecosystem services. Key uncertainties remain in understanding the processes and drivers behind GHG fluxes (the movement of gases like CO2 between land and atmosphere), limiting predictive capacity and policy effectiveness.
The NextGenCarbon project proposes an integrated framework that combines enhanced ecosystem observations, advanced data assimilation (methods that merge observations with models), and cutting-edge modelling tools. By delivering consistent, high-resolution estimates of GHG budgets from national to global scales, the project aims to support evidence-based policymaking and strengthen EU climate mitigation strategies. FLD joined the project on April 1, 2026, through the Hop On call, which allows for the expansion of existing consortia.
