The article examines the role of data interoperability in advancing sustainable food systems with a specific focus on climate change. It highlights the challenges posed by the lack of integrated databases covering critical areas like climate change, agricultural practices, and nutrition. The study uses USDA FoodData Central as a case study to visualize existing data connections and identify gaps. It advocates for the development of ontologies and crosswalks to create a harmonized data framework, which is essential for understanding and mitigating the environmental impacts of food production.

This content aligns with Goal 3: Good Health and Wellbeing and Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities by raising the general and ethical issues around access to rehabilitation robot technologies and discusses them in the context of inclusivity—a term that encompasses affordability and other common issues that may justify limiting or increasing use in low-resource settings in HICs and LMICs.

This content aligns with Goal 3: Good Health by addressing the urgent healthcare challenges posed by Japan's aging population, particularly regarding physical disabilities and the increasing demand for effective rehabilitation and care solutions. The exploration of robotics and innovative technologies in stroke rehabilitation not only aims to enhance the quality of life for individuals with disabilities but also seeks to improve overall health outcomes. Additionally, it aligns with Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities by highlighting the importance of accessible and inclusive healthcare solutions, such as telerehabilitation and community-based integrated care systems, which can help ensure that older adults and individuals with disabilities receive equitable support and resources regardless of their circumstances.
The environmental burden of food consumption is high in affluent countries like Sweden, and the global food system is accountable for between 21 and 37% of the total anthropogenic global greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE). This paper claims that interventions to improve dietary intake and reduce dietary greenhouse gas emissions (dGHGE) are urgently needed and that adolescence presents a unique time in life to promote sustainable diets. Conclucsion are that food choices and dGHGE per calorie differ by sex in adolescents. Thus, intervention strategies to improve dietary sustainability need to be tailored differently to females and males. Diet quality should also be considered when promoting reduced GHGE diets.
Improving diet quality while simultaneously maintaining planetary health is of critical interest globally. Despite the shared motivation, advancement remains slow, and the research community continues to operate in silos, focusing on certain pairings (diet–climate), or with a discipline-specific lens of a sustainable diet, rather than examining their totality. This review aims to summarize the literature on adherence to a priori defined dietary patterns in consideration of diet quality, metabolic risk factors for noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), environmental impacts, and affordability.
This Article supports SDGs 3, 10, and 13 by evaluating the effect of ambient temperature on mobility within large cities and urban areas, particularly focusing on the subway system in New York city.
Regular physical activity across the lifespan to build resilience against rising global temperatures
eBioMedicine, Volume 96, October 2023
This Personal View supports SDGs 3 and 13 by calling for more research into the contribution that physical activity can have in adapting to rising global temperatures and, more broadly, to climate change.
This One Earth Research Article shows how higher temperatures are associated with increased risk of childhood anemia in sub-Saharan Africa, predicts the risk to increase in the future due to climate change. The results emphasize the need for climate mitigation and adaptation (SDG 13), as well as targeted public health responses (SDG 3).

The increased exposure to violence and sexual crimes among Indigenous women, girls, and Two Spirit people results from longstanding historical trauma and anti-Indigenous racism. The Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit People (MMIWG2S) movement emerged as a result of the need for governments and organisations in the USA and Canada to act against acute violence towards Indigenous people
