Demonstrating Transformative Solutions to Empower Climate Resilience Towards Improved Public Health Status in the EU Boreal Region
AURORA-hankkeen tavoitteena on resilienssin lisääminen ilmastonmuutoksesta aiheutuvia terveysriskejä vastaan. Hankkeessa tuotetaan aineistoa ja työkaluja, jonka tuloksena syntyy erilaisille päättäjille suunnattu päätöksenteon tukijärjestelmä ilmastonmuutoksen terveysvaikutuksien huomioimiselle.

The AURORA project constitutes an innovative research initiative in forecasting and preventing climate change’s impacts on the One-Health framework, with a primary focus on the EU Boreal region.
AURORA consortium, with its vast experience in research projects, envisions active engagement with stakeholders throughout all project stages via Living Mission Labs. This engagement aims to foster behavioral change and showcase the project's solutions in 5 Demo cities (Riga, Tallinn, Vilnius, Tampere, Pori ) and 3 replicant cities (Klaipeda, Joniskis, Jurmala).
AURORA's overarching mission is to comprehensively monitor and model these interconnected climate and epidemiological stressors so as to be able to provide early warnings, tailored recommendations for adaptation measures, and vital support for informed policymaking, all aimed at safeguarding public health.
Obj. 1 – Enhance short- and long-term insights pertaining to the health consequences of climate-induced stressors by conducting a comprehensive multi-scope analysis, which includes the examination of the influence of climate change on the One Health concept.
Obj. 2 – Strengthen current epidemiological surveillance, modeling, and forecasting capacity induced by climate change through the co-design and co-development of 1) a climatic and epidemiological observatory, 2) appropriate models encompassing all socio-economic aspects and adaptation scenarios, and 3) user-friendly forecasting tools.
Obj. 3 – Improve preventive policy-making and health system’s preparedness ahead of climate change by 1) co-implementing a holistic Decision Support system that entails early-warning and -response, and 2) assessing and predicting the effectiveness and health impact of mitigation solutions, including nature-based ones.
Obj. 4 – Demonstrate and validate the effectiveness of the AURORA toolset in 5 major Baltic cities (Riga, Vilnius, Tallinn, Tampere, Pori) and replicate its results in 3 participating municipalities (Klaipeda, Jurmala, Joniskis).
Obj. 5 – Accelerate the adoption of AURORA solutions and maximise their impact through efficient dissemination, communication, liaison, training, and exploitation activities.
