The Horizon Europe project Atlantic-Arctic Agora (A-AAGORA) is structured to support the European Commission Mission 'Restore our Ocean and Waters by 2030' within the “Atlantic- Arctic lighthouse”.
A-AAGORA is responding to the need:
- To protect and restore marine and freshwater ecosystems and biodiversity.
- To protect valuable ecosystems located in coastal communities particularly vulnerable to climate change impacts.
- To mitigate the effects of climate change, while promoting societal well-being.
A-AAGORA will carry out demonstration activities in 3 different countries of the Atlantic and Arctic basin, namely Ireland, Portugal and Norway, representing different starting points that will serve as pilots of innovative actions, providing important data for global ocean science and direct research in the coastal and marine regions. The three demos will act as hubs and platforms for the development, demonstration, and deployment of transformative innovations of all forms – technological, social, business, governance. They will integrate existing knowledge outputs and new knowledge, co-designed and co-implemented with citizens and stakeholders in a deliberative democracy process, ensuring local business participation and citizen engagement.
