The issue of gender justice in relation to recent global findings, encompasses several key themes and challenges that require comprehensive understanding and action. The World Bank's proposed Gender Strategy for 2024-2030 highlights the urgency, fundamentality, and complexity of achieving gender equality. It underscores the need for innovation, financing, and collective action to address issues such as gender-based violence, enhancing human capital, expanding economic opportunities for women, and fostering women's leadership. This strategy emphasizes a multidimensional approach to gender justice, acknowledging the overlapping areas that must be addressed to accelerate gender equality for a sustainable, resilient, and inclusive future. Globally, women are underrepresented in political, economic, and corporate leadership roles. For instance, as of 2023, women held only 27% of parliamentary seats worldwide. This disparity limits diverse perspectives in decision-making and policy f...

Despite scepticism regarding the economic implications of tackling climate change and prevailing confusion, heightened public understanding of the scientific consensus on this issue has been linked to stronger beliefs in the existence, causes, and threats posed by climate change. This, in turn, fosters greater support for governmental measures to address it. Indeed, climate change is a reality, and neglecting to act against it could precipitate substantial economic upheavals, health risks, threats to food security, and infrastructural damage. Thus, mitigating climate change is crucial for the well-being of future generations. The concept of climate change, initially introduced by Svante Arrhenius in 1896, is predominantly attributed to human activities, as affirmed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The global health, agriculture, and community well-being are significantly affected by changing climate. It alters infectious disease patterns, necessitating adaptatio...

The discussion on the global health impacts of climate change is a critical and expansive subject that intersects with numerous scientific disciplines, including Biosciences, Chemistry, Earth sciences epidemiology, and public health. The reality of climate change, highlighted by a broad scientific consensus, presents a multi-dimensional challenge with direct and indirect consequences for global health. This commentary aims to peep into these impacts with a focus on the scientific evidence and the imperative for a coordinated response from researchers, media, governments, and the public. The Scientific Consensus on Climate Change The foundation of our understanding of climate change lies in over a century of scientific inquiry, beginning with the pioneering work of Svante Arrhenius in 1896. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has since provided comprehensive assessments, affirming that human activities are the primary drivers of climate change. This consensus is not jus...

Introduction The serious topic of global health impacts of climate change is both urgent and complex, necessitating a variable approach to engage—researchers, media, governments, and the public. The scientific consensus is unequivocal: climate change is a reality, with profound implications for global health, agriculture, and community well-being. This commentary seeks to present the critical roles that various stakeholders play in addressing the multifarious challenges posed by climate change, advocating for a collaborative, informed, and proactive response to mitigate its impacts and adapt to its inevitabilities. The Scientific Foundation At the heart of understanding and addressing climate change lies scientific research. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has provided comprehensive assessments that underscore human activities as the primary drivers of climate change. Researchers in geology, geochemistry, and across the sciences contribute to this body of knowledge...
