Transitioning to a post-growth economy — i.e., one that doesn't depend on continued economic expansion and resource utilization (SDG 8) — is increasingly seen as necessary to address the climate crisis (SDG 13) and live sustainably within the resource limits of the planet. This One Earth Perspective Article offers policies that could address some of the challenges associated with post-growth economics (i.e., how to avoid recession).
This Article supports SDG 5 by showing that women nurses aspiring to become healthcare leaders face multiple barriers, including cultural, professional, organisational, and individual barriers. The findings should help to inform workplace policies that can lessen these barriers.
The latest global prison trends from Penal Reform International suggest that approximately 740 000 women are in prison and that the number is rising in most regions. Neither the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development7 nor the UN definition of vulnerability make explicit reference to human rights of people deprived of their liberty.
This Viewpoint looks at the reasons that females tend to be less likely to be diagnosed with ADHD, are diagnosed later in life, and are less likely to be prescribed medication.

This Article supports SDG 3 by showing that children with disabilities have fewer opportunities for play compared with children without disabilities (around 9% less), which is important because play is important for child development. Strategies to overcome barriers to participation in play are needed.
Proper regulation is essential to ensure that such a system benefited those in need, and that those who provided organs are properly compensated.

The goal of SDG3 is that everyone should have a good health and well-being.

This content aligns with Goal 3: Good Health by focusing on neurorehabilitation as a means to facilitate recovery from nervous system damage and enhance functional independence for individuals affected by conditions such as stroke or brain trauma. By incorporating advanced assistive technologies and machine learning into rehabilitation practices, the chapter highlights innovative approaches that can improve the effectiveness of interventions, ultimately promoting better health outcomes and quality of life for patients. Additionally, it supports Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities by emphasizing the importance of accessible and adaptive technologies that provide all individuals, regardless of their disabilities or socioeconomic status, with the tools necessary to achieve greater independence and participate fully in society.
