Yet\, these ecosystems are often confronted with lack of space\, cu ts of vegetation\, artificialization\, and other urbanisation processes. T his degradation can lead to numerous disservices to humans in regard to em erging pathogens\, decreasing disease resistance\, climate change impacts and other health concerns in cities.\n\nThis Webinar brings together two g lobal experts on the topic of the convergence of aqautic health and human health.\n\nOneAquaHealth aims to improve the sustainability and integrity of freshwater ecosystems in urban environments. By investigating the inter connection of ecosystem health and human wellbeing\, the project will iden tify early warning indicators and enhance environmental monitoring with AI -assisted tools. As a result\, the project will support decision-makers in finding adequate and timely decisions as well as effective measures to re store aquatic ecosystems health and promote OneHealth.\n\nhttps://www.onea quahealth.eu/\n\nObjectives of OneAquaHealth are:\n\n- LINKS between the H EALTH OF NATURE and AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS and HUMAN HEALTH.\n- LEVEL OF INTEG RITY of urban aquatic ecosystems for the maintenance of HUMAN HEALTH and w ellbeing\, ANIMAL and PLANT HEALTH and the MITIGATION of the RISKS OF DISE ASES outbreak.\n- Determine ENVIRONMENTAL PARAMETERS for predicting DISEAS ES OUTBREAK RISKS related to aquatic ecosystem degradation\, which may con stitute EARLY WARNING INDICATORS.\n- EARTH OBSERVATION DATA to monitoring early warning indicators.\n- TOOL that allows the selection of measures to ACT UPON EARLY WARNINGS.\n- Engage stakeholders for RISKS CONTRIBUTING to an EARLY WARNING SYSTEM.\n\nCo-sponsored by: OneAquaHealth\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr Este Geraghty\, Prof Eleni Kokinou\n\nAgenda: \n06:00 - 06:05 am PST I ntroduction to the webinar and expected results Alexander Nikolov\nSYNYO G mbH\, Austria\n06:05 - 06: 15 am PST OneAquaHealth project\, introduction\ , objectives\, current restults and planned development activities and sol utions Alexander Nikolov\nSYNYO GmbH\, Austria\n\n06:15 - 06:45 am PST\n(i ncluding 10 min for Q&A) ESRI Expert talk:\n\nWaters of Change: GIS Soluti ons for Climate Challenges and Community Health\n\nThis presentation explo res the critical intersection of water\, health\, and survival in a comple x and changing world. With water as the lifeblood of ecosystems and commun ities\, I’ll explore how shifts in water availability and quality—stem ming from various factors\, including climate change—impact food securit y\, mental well-being\, and the spread of diseases such as Powassan virus\ , Valley fever\, Malaria and others influenced by altered environmental co nditions.\n\nUtilizing Geographic Information Systems (GIS)\, I’ll highl ight innovative approaches to mapping and solving water-related challenges . From enhancing water access in Africa to addressing the needs of the Nav ajo Nation and combating harmful algal blooms\, GIS technology emerges as a key tool in understanding and improving the complex relationships betwee n water resources\, public health\, and ecosystem integrity.\n\nApplying G IS with One Health principles can lead to more resilient communities and e cosystems that are prepared to thrive amid the challenges of the 21st cent ury.
