The first building block of the C3S is a consistent Climate Data Store (CDS) that contains series of geophysical climate variables and indicators, most being listed as Essential Climate Variables or Thematic Climate Data Records, needed to routinely monitor the climate drivers and climate change impacts.
The fourth block is dedicated to Outreach and Dissemination (O&D) activities to ensure the dissemination of the climate related information, both from the Climate Data Store and the Sectoral Information System, to the end users, including e.g., public authorities, businesses, researchers and the general public as appropriate.
