This Article supports SDG3 by evaluating sex and gender disparities in terms of risk factors, treatment uptake/completion, and virological outcomes for hepatitis C, finding differences between men and women in, for example, exposure to different risk factors and likelihood of commencing treatment. More attention is needed in research to these disparities and how they could be addressed

This research identifies optimal passive retrofitting methods, such as adding insulation, to enhance the resilience of residential buildings and protect vulnerable communities from the safety risks posed by climate change-driven extreme weather events. By increasing he time a building maintains a safe temperature without external power, this approach helps societies adapt to an already warming world while reducing the energy demand that contributes to further temperature increase.

This article links to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by addressing Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-Being) and Goal 13 (Climate Action), as it highlights the significant greenhouse gas emissions associated with radiotherapy, a critical component of cancer treatment. By proposing strategies to reduce the environmental impact of oncology care through sustainable practices and treatment modifications, the study emphasizes the importance of integrating health care with climate action efforts to promote both patient well-being and environmental sustainability.
