Although Indigenous Australians critically ill with sepsis have similar short and long-term mortality rates, they present to hospital, die in-hospital, and die post-discharge significantly younger. Unique cohort characteristics may explain these outcomes, and assist clinicians, researchers and policy-makers in targeting interventions to these characteristics to best reduce the burden of sepsis in this cohort and improve their healthcare outcomes.

In this study, the authors map the projected changes in water availability onto the components of the food-water-energy Nexus at several spatial scales. Resilience thinking acknowledges the different spatial scales at which governance operates, resilience occurs, and Nexus systems function.

Rohingya women displaced in Bangladesh demonstrate tremendous resilience in the face of severe gender restrictions and risks to personal safety exacerbated by climate change. They have employed information and communication technologies to share health information and resources, resist restrictions on their mobility, and forge new opportunities for themselves; efforts that contributed to controlling the risk of COVID-19 transmission within the camp in early 2020 and generating an innovative early-warning system to combat disasters exacerbated by climate change.

Review evidence on the burden of chronic respiratory diseases in Indigenous peoples globally, summarise factors that underlie health disparities between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people, propose a framework of approaches to improve the respiratory health of Indigenous peoples, and outline future directions for clinical care and research
