PCP WISE is an innovative project aimed at developing cutting-edge solutions (up to TRL 8) for water management and climate resilience across Europe using the PCP instrument. By leveraging space technology and EO data, PCP-WISE seeks to address critical challenges related to floods, fires, and infrastructure impacts both in rural an urban areas. This collaborative effort brings together public buyers, research institutions, and industry experts to create and implement advanced climate services that will enhance Europe’s ability to adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate change.​
