Euro-CASE

🌍 New advice on solar radiation modification is now published! Scientists advise that solar radiation modification technologies cannot fully address #climatechange and responsible research into potential impacts is crucial. SRM techniques —like stratospheric aerosol injection or cloud brightening—are designed to reflect sunlight and reduce global warming, but the evidence highlights significant uncertainties and potential risks. The Group of Chief Scientific Advisors and the European Group on Ethics recommend prioritising emission reductions, announcing a Europe-wide moratorium on these technologies, and fostering ethical, transparent research. 📄 Read the full content of the publications here: https://lnkd.in/e3Q2jqGa

Shaping Europe's Sustainable Future: Euro-CASE Statement on the 10th European Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (FP 10) 

It's now out! European Commissioner on Health and Food Safety asked scientific advice on One Health Governance in European Union, The Council of Finnish Academies nominated me and I was chosen to the expert group to gather evidence and Chief Scientific Advisors gave their advice. Advice shortly: we need more integration in policies, structures, education, surveillance to reach the promise of One Health. One Health is the revolutionary idea that human health, non-human animal health, plant health and the health of the environment is all linked. Well, the idea is not revolutionary, but looking at the evidence, the operationalization clearly would be. The main takeaways from the evidence gathering were that both health researchers and policy-makers need to consider health broadly as human, other-than-human animal, plant and the health of our environment are strongly linked. Consequently, it is a complex work and the optimal outcomes are not easy to find. Nevertheless, it definitely requires a shift to less anthropocentric view and diversification of the ways that we measure cost-effectiveness. https://lnkd.in/dTM7dPhH Scientific Advice Mechanism │ The Council of Finnish Academies │ Leiden University │ University of Helsinki

After a stimulating day of discussions about sustainabilty in the fields of #environement, #healthcare and #transport/utility systems, our conference comes to a close with the speeches of our host Miklos Bendzsel, our President @Tuula Teeri and Bernhard Plunger from the Austrian Academy of Sciences, host of the 2025 Euro-CASE Annual Conference.
