Aurora presented by oral speech at the Baltic Sea Regional Forum 2025 for the EU Mission on Adaptation for Climate Change.

The TalTech Urban Water Systems Research Group participated in the Mission Baltic Forum 2025, held in Viimsi on November 17–18. The event gathered regional stakeholders to discuss climate adaptation across the Baltic Sea area.

Day one included site visits to Viimsi’s innovative stormwater and climate adaptation systems—many developed through projects involving the TalTech team, such as CleanStormWater, MUSTBE, and LATESTadapt.

On the second day, Ivar Annus presented the AURORA project, which links climate stressors like extreme rainfall and urban heat islands to public health risks. Funded by the EU (Grant Agreement No. 101157643), AURORA focuses on forecasting and preventing climate-related health impacts within the One-Health framework, with special emphasis on the EU’s Boreal region.

The forum was co-organised by the European Commission, Viimsi Municipality, and the City of Tallinn.
