The research aims to assess the environmental sustainability of measurements, and the investigation is conducted through two case studies within the information and communication technology sector. The authors put forward recommendations for increasing a measurement's environmental sustainability.
This article relates to SDG 3. This resource, created together by Osmosis and the National Organization for Rare Diseases (NORD), aims to increase the knowledge and awareness about Pierre-Robin Sequence, a rare congenital condition characterized by physical anomalies that result in making the newborn's breathing difficult.
This article relates to SDG 3. This resource, created together by Osmosis and the National Organization for Rare Diseases (NORD), aims to increase the knowledge and awareness about Turner Syndrome, a condition characterized by a partial or complete loss of one of the two X chromosomes in females. The manifestations of this can be quite variable, resulting in infertility and/or distinctive physical features such as a short stature, webbed neck, or a “shield chest”.
This Personal View supports SDGs 3 and 13 by demonstrating a framework for how health-care professionals can promote decarbonisation by influencing the social and policy landscape
The article highlights the critical and complex interactions between climate/environmental changes and nutrition, emphasizing that addressing these issues requires an integrated, ecological approach. US government initiatives and research efforts are actively working to understand and mitigate these impacts, with the ADVANTAGE initiative playing a pivotal role in exploring these intersections. The article calls for a comprehensive understanding of "nutrition ecology" to effectively promote health and prevent disease, ultimately aiming to meet global nutrition targets.
This One Earth Perspective Article explores how coastal communities are increasingly exposed to risks due to trade offs from international conservation efforts and rapid economic and climate change, and argues that policymakers seeking to promote ocean biodiversity (SDG 14) must first prioritize social justice and general resilience to equitably enable sustainable communities (SDG 11).
This content aligns with Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities by examining the social determinants of health, food, and nutritional inequities.
