2025_CAMS2_G72 - CAMS NCP Call for Proposals - Action-2025-2: Support of National Action Plans on Air Pollution

Tender description

ECMWF, as the Entrusted Entity for the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS), invites applications under the CAMS National Collaboration Programme Call for Proposals 2025. The National Collaboration Programme proposes a dedicated scheme to support the Countries (27 EU Member States and Copernicus participating states Norway, Iceland, the United Kingdom, and Ukraine), in achieving maximum benefit from CAMS products and services (Data | Copernicus) in the implementation of their mandates. The ambition of CAMS NCP is to enhance the integration of CAMS products into national systems, supporting for example air quality monitoring and forecasting, reporting processes, including air pollutants and greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions verification, use of solar radiation products for health and energy purposes, etc. The programme aims to assess the relevance and quality of CAMS data for addressing national and regional air pollution issues, including transboundary and natural sources, and other applications in the climate, energy and health protection fields. CAMS products and services can support Countries in the development of national tools and assessments to better meet air quality and air pollutants emissions reporting requirements. The initiative also supports the use of CAMS products in climate mitigation strategies, offering reliable data on CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions for improved monitoring and verification of data reported according to international agreements. CAMS NCP supports public engagement by facilitating accessible, localized information on atmospheric conditions in national languages. Additionally, CAMS NCP serves as a collaborative hub, encouraging knowledge exchange among stakeholders through the Atmosphere User Forum, promoting good practices, and strengthening regional cooperation on atmospheric and climate-related issues. More information about the CAMS NCP can be found at CAMS National Collaboration Programme | Copernicus. ECMWF invites Proposals for the development and implementation of activities designed to strengthen collaboration amongst Countries with the objective to increase the uptake of CAMS products responding to regulatory needs coming from relevant entities and aligned with CAMS mandate of delivering consistent and quality-controlled information related to atmospheric composition and its impact on air pollution and health, solar energy, and climate forcing. The Call for Proposals is structured in the following three Actions: - Action-2025-1: Transboundary cooperation to address common challenges - Action-2025-2: Support of National Action Plans on Air Pollution - Action-2025-3: CAMS and Health: A collaborative framework Please note: this ‘’Action-2025-2: Support of National Action Plans on Air Pollution‘’ refers ONLY to Action 2025-2 of the Call for Proposals.
