Air conditioning is a vital, though problematic, adaptation to climate change and increasing urban heat. Increasing access to air conditioning is needed for human health (SDG 3) in heat-vulnerable regions, though the sustainability depends on innovation and clean energy infrastructure making the contributions to SDG 11 (sustainable cities and communities) both positive and negative for different indicators. This One Earth research explores what demographic factors are associated with air conditioning uptake.

This study proposes a deep learning model based on a convolutional neural network, which can effectively fuse atmospheric information (wind field) and station water level information and can effectively forecast the station water level and also have a good response to the anomalous water level increase brought by storm surge.

Background: The Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) estimates burden by cause with major relevance for resource allocators globally. Non-fatal burden estimates are influenced by disorder severity. However, for many disorders, global severity is sourced from a single high-income country survey. We aimed to estimate severity distributions that vary by Healthcare Access Quality Index (HAQI) using anxiety disorders as a case study and present the usefulness of this method in simulating averted and avoidable burden globally.

The findings of this study suggest further review and consideration of a multipronged approach of integrated nutrition, menstrual hygiene management, and water, sanitation and hygiene interventions at the school level to improve adolescent nutrition and health.
