Evaluating the bias and fairness of ML models has drawn much attention in the machine learning and statistics community. Researchers have proposed methods to assess and mitigate the bias for various applications that could adversely affect underrepresented groups, like recidivism prediction, credit risk prediction, and income prediction.
Review article that examines 66 studies to understand the state of knowledge on the relationship between urban environment and the travel of people with disabilities. Adapts the classic travel demand model to the mobility characteristics of people with disabilities, interprets the existing literature, points out the missing links, and suggests directions of future research.
This Article supports SDGs 3 and 10 by evaluating whether provision of a cash transfer to children and adolescents would improve their access to health and education resources, by removing financial barriers to these resources.

The rich potential of legal rights in advancing planetary health is no longer untapped.1 In July, 2022, the UN General Assembly adopted Resolution A/76/L.75, which recognised “the right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment as a human right”, by a landslide of 161 votes. This historic resolution stands on the shoulders of a long line of UN initiatives, such as the Human Rights Council's Resolution 48/13, which was enacted in October, 2021, and recognised the right to a healthy environment as “important for the enjoyment of human rights”. This occurred 6 months after UN Environment, WHO, and 13 other UN entities issued a statement that described the failure to recognise the right to a healthy environment as detrimental to the attainment of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Earlier, the Stockholm Declaration on the Human Environment 1972 affirmed that humans have “the fundamental right to freedom, equality and adequate conditions of life, in an environment of a quality that permits a life of dignity and well-being”. Two decades later, the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development 1992 demanded that states “conserve, protect and restore the health and integrity of the Earth's ecosystem”.
