Given the climate crisis, all sectors must make choices that serve people and planet well into the future. The establishment of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015 shifted the global debates on these issues particularly recognizing that sustainability as a critical lens must be applied not only by public and not-for-profit sectors, but also by philanthropy and private sector.

The article underscores the vital role of traditional country foods in supporting the health of Nunavik Inuit, as these foods are primary sources of important antioxidants like ergothioneine and selenoneine. The markedly higher levels of these compounds among Nunavimmiut�especially among women, elders, and frequent country food consumers�demonstrate the nutritional and cultural significance of maintaining access to wild foods. The findings advocate for the protection and promotion of traditional food systems to preserve both health benefits and Indigenous food sovereignty, while also calling for further research into the health impacts of these unique dietary antioxidants in Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations alike.

The high prevalence of musculoskeletal diseases, particularly rheumatoid arthritis, in the Misak indigenous community—originally from Colombia— is likely influenced by cultural, socioeconomic, genetic, and environmental factors, leading to significant disability. This study highlights the importance of implementing culturally sensitive, interdisciplinary interventions for early diagnosis, better treatment adherence, and improved health outcomes tailored to the community's specific sociocultural context.

This study identified seven distinct area-level deprivation trajectories in Northern Ireland from 2010 to 2016 and found that upward social mobility was generally linked to reduced risk of poor health outcomes, while downward mobility increased such risks compared to stable deprivation groups. Notably, a dose-response relationship emerged between lower deprivation at the endpoint and better health outcomes, though one upwardly mobile group exhibited unexpectedly high health risks, underscoring the complexity of social mobility's impact on health.
