Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages

This scoping review explores climate-health competency frameworks in response to the increasing global health impacts of climate change, with a particular focus on low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

The authors of this short communication examine the relationship between coastal hazards and mental distress among Indonesian adults using data from 642,419 participants in the 2018 Indonesia Basic Health Survey (Riskedas).

This multi-country study explored nurses' and midwives' awareness, perceptions, and attitudes regarding climate change and sustainable healthcare practices.

Climate change disproportionately affects vulnerable populations, causing mental health issues like depression, anxiety, and substance use. This article presents the development of a Climate Change Vulnerability and Impact (CCVI) Module as a supplement to WHO's Flexible Interview for ICD-11 (FLII-11).

International Day for Biological Diversity 2026, celebrated under the theme “Acting locally for global impact”, highlights how local actions and community-led efforts can drive meaningful global pr

Introduction: Healthcare systems are responding to the immediate and long-term impacts of climate change by providing care, and implementing carbon reduction initiatives.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is making remarkable strides in the field of oncology. The potential is humongous, but the perils are understated.
This paper presents a realistic tabletop exercise for preventive medicine and public health residency trainees and public health professionals, simulating a concurrent heat event and flooding scenario to test emergency preparedness and response decisions. As climate change increases the frequency of compound extreme weather events, training the next generation of public health professionals in climate emergency management becomes urgent. The exercise emphasizes the advisory role of public health professionals in emergency response and builds essential skills in risk communication and emergency preparedness.

The scientific community worldwide has been interested in nanoscience over the past few decades due to its potential applications in the energy, pharmaceutical, agricultural, electronics, medical diagnostics, and chemical industries, as well as in space exploration. These distinctive features of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) can be explored for various additional applications, including medication delivery, biosensing, reusable catalysts, antibacterial and anticancer properties, MRI agents, and medical imaging. Therefore, it is essential to fabricate IONPs with the appropriate monodispersity, structure, size, and topology for the applications. The biofabrication of IONPs with the appropriate nature and structure utilizing microbial machinery is safer, faster, and more ecologically friendly than previous approaches. Many microorganisms have previously been investigated for their ability to fabricate IONPs. As a result, manufacturing IONPs using microorganisms is a novel approach that shows great promise. This chapter offers detailed information on several methods for producing IONPs utilizing microbial cells, as well as their multifunctional applications.
