This funding call aims to develop new and innovative methods to enhance the Copernicus Anthropogenic CO₂ Emissions Monitoring & Verification Support (CO2MVS) capacity. The focus is on estimating the impact of wildfires on vegetation and related carbon fluxes, integrating the effects of droughts, fires, and land use changes. Projects will leverage observation-based datasets and improve current process-based vegetation and fire models to refine outputs in Copernicus services such as CAMS and CEMS. Additionally, the call emphasizes the development of downstream applications and active transfer of research results into operational capabilities. Collaboration across Copernicus services and integration of relevant datasets is critical, with research results to be shared openly.
Opening: 03 Jun 2025
Deadline(s): 13 Nov 2025

This funding opportunity represents a pre-agreed draft that has not yet been officially approved by the European Commission. The final, approved version is expected to be published in the first quarter of 2025. This draft is provided for informational purposes and may be used to preliminarily form consortia and develop project ideas, but it is offered without any guarantees or warranties.
Expected Outcome
• Enable accounting for drought, fire, and vegetation interactions in CO2MVS capacity.
• Improve fire emissions estimation in CAMS.
• Enhance fire risk forecasting in CEMS.
• Support carbon flux assessments with improved CLMS product integration.
Scope
• Better understand the impact of wildfires on the carbon cycle and anthropogenic emissions.
• Investigate fire modelling methods, particularly interactions between droughts, fires, and vegetation.
• Use observation-based datasets to enhance fire-vegetation interaction models.
• Improve the assimilation of Copernicus Land Monitoring Service (CLMS) products.
• Demonstrate downstream applications benefiting from enhanced models and datasets.
