AURORA
Project overview
Resilience Guard is part of a team developing tools and applications aimed at enhancing resilience to health risks stemming from climate change in the EU Boreal region. These tools focus on monitoring climate stressors, developing integrated climate and epidemiological models, and generating forecasts through simulated scenarios. They also aim to identify climate change-related risks and vulnerabilities specifically for the Boreal region. The identified risks will be supported by a reliable AI-driven system designed to issue early warnings and provide recommendations for adaptive measures and nature-based solutions.
We will lead one vital task which aims to develop a risk assessment tool that enables stakeholders to model various planning options across a range of climate scenarios. At the heart of this effort is the improved communication of risk, translating scientific knowledge into actionable policy and guidance, and embedding this understanding directly into the design of the surveyed areas

The project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant agreement 101157643.
Project description
The 42-month AURORA research project, ''Demonstrating trAnsformative solUtions to empower climate Resilience tOwards impRoved public health stAtus in the EU Boreal Region," started in September 2024, focuses on forecasting and preventing climate change’s impacts within the One-Health framework. AURORA aims to comprehensively monitor and model interconnected climate and epidemiological stressors to provide early warnings, tailored recommendations for adaptation measures, and vital support for informed policymaking, all aimed at safeguarding public health.
In addition, AURORA showcases the project's solutions in 5 demo cities (Riga, Tallinn, Vilnius, Tampere, Pori) and 3 replicant cities (Klaipeda, Joniskis, Jurmala). The knowledge and insights generated by AURORA are disseminated through clustering activities, ultimately empowering local policymakers to make evidence-based decisions, reassess strategies, and develop management plans for climate-resilient cities
Project goals
STO-1 Enhance insights into the health consequences of climate-induced stressors with a focus on the One-Health concept.
STO-2 Build climate-resilient epidemiological surveillance, modeling, and forecasting through co-development of observatories, models, and user-friendly tools.
STO-3 Develop a holistic decision support system to improve preventive policymaking and preparedness, with a focus on early warning and mitigation effectiveness.
STO-4 Demonstrate and validate the AURORA toolset in key Baltic cities and replicating its success in additional municipalities.
STO-5 Accelerate adoption and maximize the impact of AURORA solutions through robust dissemination, training, and communication strategies.
Our input
Resilience Guard GmbH has been appointed to lead one of the key tasks of the project, aiming to deliver robust methodologies and tools that translate risk understanding into actionable guidance and helping communities to integrate resilience into everyday decision-making. The goal is to develop an innovative system enabling local and regional stakeholders to evaluate a range of planning scenarios, enhancing their capacity to respond to current and future climate-related challenges in the Borealis zone. By applying advanced AI techniques, we will explore how emerging technologies can improve urban resilience, reduce costs, and support informed decision-making. The outcome of this task is the creation of a risk assessment tool that will support environmental-level planning, incident management, and strategic investment in resilience. The solution will be scalable, easy to implement, and aligned with international standards on organizational resilience.
