This mixed transdisciplinary study developed a WEF nexus-based framework to guide strategic policy decisions to catalyze progress toward achieving sustainable development goals.
The article demonstrates that while healthier diets often align with reduced environmental impacts in several domains, significant trade-offs exist, particularly regarding water use and cost. Diet quality indexes that emphasize plant-based foods offer the most consistent sustainability benefits. However, no diet pattern is without drawbacks, underscoring the importance of nuanced, multidimensional assessments and the integration of nutrition and sustainability data to inform effective policy and clear public guidance.
This study shows that climate change
has significantly decreased crop yields and heightened food insecurity in sub-Saharan Africa, and although adaptation strategies provide some relief, major challenges persist, highlighting the need for targeted resilience policies.
Pesticides are extensively used to improve food production, resulting in ubiquitous pesticide contamination in surface waters due to agricultural runoff.

This study projects China's agricultural environmental impacts under different socioeconomic pathways, showing that sustainable development (SSP1) could reduce impacts by up to 76% by 2050, while less cooperative scenarios (SSP3) may lead to smaller reductions or increases. The results highlight the critical influence of agricultural policies in driving environmental sustainability and decarbonization across China's regions.
This Viewpoint issues a multidisciplinary call to embed sustainability into anticoagulation care, aligning clinical excellence with climate responsibility.
