Technical requirements: ECMWF, as the Entrusted Entity for the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), entered into a series of contracts for the development and implementation of activities that aim to enhance C3S uptake amongst Countries, in line with the specific mandate of C3S as a climate data & information service and existing and new policy requirements at national and EU level. The objective of the C3S National Collaboration Programme (NCP) is to support Countries in developing capacity to enhance uptake of C3S core products, applications, and services, in response to specific national needs and priorities, with the goal to improve climate resilience. The NCP will support the capacity of national authorities to deliver user-oriented climate services, support adaptation plans and promote climate change communication and public awareness at the national level.
Service shall be performed on Contractor's premises, located either in a European Union Member State or in a Copernicus Participating State.
