Abstract
The Anthropocene describes our current time where the environment of our planet is significantly shaped by human activities. Rapid growth in human population and affluence have triggered sustainability challenges across all parts of the Earth system. At the same time, advances in Earth observations, system models, and digital technologies now enable us to create „Digital Twins“ of the environment. Digital twins combine Earth system data and models to generate highly accurate digital representations of planet Earth, helping us explore consequences of human development scenarios and assess their impacts on the environment. As a result, digital twins offer decision-makers a powerful decision support tool to balance human development, sustainable resource use and environmental preservation. This document introduces the concept of digital twins of planet Earth and summarizes key initiatives within the Helmholtz Association‘s Earth and Environment research.
