Joint Industry Statement from Europe’s private providers on the future of climate services
In April 2025, the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC), in collaboration with the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO), Copernicus Climate Change Services (C3S) and DNV, under the umbrella of Climateurope2, hosted a two-days in-person event titled “European Regulation of Climate Services: A Dialogue with Private Providers”. The event brought together 21 participants from 18 companies — representing small, medium, and large private climate service providers from across Europe — to discuss how regulation and standardisation can support a trusted, transparent, and innovation-driven European market.
As a key outcome, participants co-developed a Joint Industry Statement, outlining shared principles and concrete actions to enhance the quality, consistency, and real-world value of climate information and related services.
