September 2023 marks the 12th anniversary of World Alzheimer’s Month, our international campaign to raise awareness and challenge stigma. In 2022, over 111 countries took part in advocacy, fundraising and awareness raising events for World Alzheimer’s Month, with many working to raise general awareness and call for further support for those most affected in their communities. The month of activities shows a truly global, regional, national and local level response to promote dementia awareness and what we can do to help support those living with the disease, now and in the future.

Excessive heat due to climate change and air pollution are both worse in cities, but many pollution control (SDG 3) and climate mitigation (SDG 13) policies synergistically address both.

This One Earth Research Article shows how reducing emissions of pollutants that contribute to unhealthy ozone levels in cities* can have benefits for both pollution control (SDG 3) and climate mitigation (SDG 13) for improved life in cities (SDG 11). *Note that ozone is a pollutant in the lower atmosphere but necessary for UV protection in the stratosphere.
Background: Housing quality is a crucial determinant of mental health. While the construction of high-rise buildings is a popular policy strategy for accommodating population growth in cities, there is considerable debate about the health consequences of living in poorly designed apartments. Drawing on three Australian state government apartment design policies introduced to improve apartment design quality, this study aimed to identify the combination of design requirements that were optimally supportive of positive mental health.
