restoration of the danube river basin waters for ecosystems and people from mountains to coast

over one million barriers on europes rivers have resulted in extensive loss of river connectivity and 7090 of europes floodplain areas are ecologically degraded due to human modifications despite having an ambitious eu policy framework in place implementation of fresh and transitional water ecosystem restoration is lagging behind reasons for this lie among others in a lack of knowledge awareness and participation of local people and business actors the overall aim of danube4all is the development of a comprehensive restoration action plan for the danube river basin lighthouse developed in an unprecedented cocreation process with stakeholders integrating citizens interests to support the mission restore our ocean and waters by 2030 based on solid scientific knowledge and new findings the action plan will promote the improvement of ecological status biodiversity and ecosystem connectivity the development and implementation of innovative winwin nature based solutions will simultaneously lead to an enhanced freeflowing status of rivers and floodplains flood and drought risk reduction and enhancement of sediment and biota continuity the aim is to adapt to climate change as well as to improve the endangered biodiversity of ecosystems this will be reached by identifying processing and upscaling effective and economically profitable restoration measures danube4all will implement innovative demonstration activities at three sites in the upper middle danube and the danube delta danube4all will link ecological and economic benefits providing tailored business cases for smes and will deliver innovative tools to accelerate citizens and stakeholders engagement danube4all will provide gis and citizen science tools for upscaling these restoration actions via ten synergy sites to the danube basin and will also transfer the outcomes to five associated regions by concrete steps towards the development of replication roadmaps for restoration action
green tax reform for a just climate transition greta

the european unions ambitious climate policies will have wideranging distributional impacts in societies yet it is poorly understood how to mitigate the adverse impacts and how compensation mechanisms can be designed to allocate funds to those most in need greta introduces an integrated approach for climate policies and inequality and will increase our understanding on how to reach climate targets equitably in the theoretical part we characterize a green tax reform that creates sufficient incentives to cut emissions generates public revenue for the green transition and ensures that costs are fairly distributed across the society individuals hold private information about their productivity and abatement costs in this setting income taxation and carbon pricing are not separable and strikingly effective carbon prices should vary by incomelevel the theory shows that the optimal tax design depends on a limited set of sufficient statistics including 1 carbon price incidence per income group 2 emission semielasticity per income group and 3 individuals perception of within and acrossincome inequalityin the empirical part we quantify these sufficient statistics 13 using price variation created by the energy crisis of 2022 and a rich administrative data covering all finnish firms and individuals first we estimate the within and acrossincome inequalities created by the sudden rise in electricity prices and using plausibly exogenous ending dates of fixedterm contract estimate the individuallevel emission semielasticities second we study how the energy price spikes contribute to inequality though their different impacts on firm owners and workers where our identification is based on a shiftshare instrument approach third we study the fairness perception by a largescale survey where responses are linked to the administrative data these empirical findings allow us to quantify the optimal tax design numerically

the areana project addresses the call for aviation research synergies between horizon europe azea and national programs by providing advanced novel approaches to foster the european aviation research ecosystem it encompasses three interconnected yet thematically distinct partsfirstly approaches improving on the coordination of aviation funding programs will be addressed by coordinating and supporting synergies between european national and regional ri aviation programs the project aims to facilitate joint calls or other cofunding mechanisms that align eu national and regional activities in specific fields and accelerate the update and sharing of aviation technology infrastructures in the european research areasecondly the upcoming aerodays will be prepared the consortium suggests them to take place during the first half of 2025 in warsaw poland they would then coincide with the polish presidency of the council of the european unionthirdly azea alliance for zero emission aviation activities will be supported by conducting mappings and analysis including the identification of potential technological and administrative gaps and lack of related ri and standardization efforts removing the obstacles for zeroemission aviation close cooperation with the advisory council for aviation research and innovation in europe acare and other institutions is expectedthe areana project will help to sustain and foster the european aviation research ecosystem thus helping to achieve the environmental goals while ensuring european competitiveness this will be achieved by connecting and aligning different funding mechanisms bringing together aviation stakeholders during the aerodays and supporting the alliance for zero emission aviation
optimizing the delivery and uptake of malaria vaccines in countries with areas of highly seasonal transmission in west and central africa

the availability of effective malaria vaccines is a historic landmark a breakthrough for science child health and malaria control that could save tens of thousands of young lives each year who 2021 but substantial implementation challenges need to be addressed to realise this potential in many areas where malaria vaccines will soon be introduced epi coverage is suboptimal especially in the second year of life introduction of malaria vaccines is also an opportunity to strengthen delivery of basic vaccines because a additional immunisation visits will be required to administer 3 doses of malaria vaccine between the ages of 5 and 9 months and a fourth dose at about 2 years and b in areas with highly seasonal malaria annual intensification of vaccine delivery may be advantageous to optimize malaria impact both providing opportunities for catchup of other vaccines and c recognition of the importance of malaria may lead to be less mistrust of malaria vaccines as observed during pilot implementations such positive attitudes could be leveraged to promote vaccination in general the purpose of this project is to support national immunization and malaria programmes in 14 countries in west and central africa with highly seasonal malaria to optimize delivery and uptake of malaria vaccines and to exploit the opportunities to strengthen delivery of other vaccines this will be achieved through a programme of implementation research adapting delivery approaches to local situations and sharing information about what works best the project which builds on a network of 13 countries that was established through the edctpfunded optsmc project coordinated by the university of this in senegal the lih tdr lshtm capm mmv and who will provide grants and technical assistance to national programmes to enable them to monitor vaccine introduction and identify barriers to uptake and develop implement and evaluate strategies to address these barriers
