This study, relevant to Goals 3, 10, and 13, examined how often and in which countries health considerations were factored into a country’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC’s) for climate commitments. They found that countries with the greatest vulnerability to climate change health effects – largely countries with the fewest resources – considered health effects the most. The authors recommend that considering health, even in higher resourced countries, can increase public backing for ambitious climate goals.
Mapping the change in language around climate action.
Two green gown award winning buildings, built in 2004 and 2017, were investigated. Features include rainwater harvesting, sensing and photovoltaic panel systems. Sustainability features delivered only 28–71% of their potential resource savings. The performance gaps were due to technical, human, and economic factors.
Mobility as a Service (MaaS) is a recent concept that is gaining momentum in both the scientific world and the private sector.
Background: Climate change and air pollution are two major societal problems. Their complex interplay calls for an advanced evaluation framework that can support decision making.
Mitigating and adapting to climate change requires decarbonizing electricity while ensuring resilience of supply, since a warming planet will lead to greater extremes in weather and, plausibly, in pow
Mutual understanding is important when trying to make beneficial climate changes.
The article highlights the significant threat climate change poses to global food security and micronutrient availability, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. It emphasizes that rising temperatures, elevated CO2, and extreme weather events will likely reduce the yield and quality of essential crops and fisheries. Effective mitigation strategies, such as biofortification, plant breeding, and genetic modifications, are critical to enhance crop resilience and nutritional content, ensuring food security and addressing micronutrient deficiencies amidst changing climate conditions.

Wildfire is one of the most critical natural disasters that threaten wildlands and forest resources.
