MISTRAL participated in the SDGs-EYES Final Scientific and Policy Dissemination Event, held in Lecce on 26–27 November 2025, an international gathering dedicated to advancing the monitoring of the UN Sustainable Development Goals through Earth observation, climate intelligence, and innovative data services. The event brought together leading organisations including ISTAT, ESA, ECMWF, FAO, EEA, EUROSTAT, UN agencies and WMO, reflecting the high strategic value of the initiative.
Our Scientific Coordinator, Rodolfo Sardone (ASL Taranto), was invited to contribute to the session on SDG13 – Climate Action, and specifically to the discussion on the Heat–Health Nexus Risk. In this context, MISTRAL presented preliminary results from its scientific team, showing how advanced Artificial Intelligence models can be used to understand the combined effects of pollution and climate change on population health. This work demonstrates how environmental data, climate indicators, and health information can be integrated to anticipate risks and support evidence-based public-health policies.
The SDGs-EYES event also highlighted the importance of co-design methodologies, agile development, and the deployment of Copernicus-based services for environmental monitoring, providing valuable insights for MISTRAL as the project continues developing AI-enabled tools for urban health impact assessment.
MISTRAL’s participation strengthened collaborations with European partners working at the intersection of climate science, environmental monitoring, and public health, and reaffirmed the project’s commitment to supporting the 2030 Agenda through data-driven, citizen-centred and health-oriented innovations.
