Residents of Australia’s remote regions have lower life expectancies and poorer health outcomes than other Australians. Access to hospital and specialist care frequently requires transport via road or air and time spent away from family and community. The paper explores consumer perspective and identifies areas for improvement.

Global climate overshoot scenarios rely heavily on land-based carbon dioxide removal (CDR), but the IPCCs optimistic technical and economic potentials overlook the unquantified feasible potential shaped by socio-cultural, environmental, and institutional factors. This article proposes research frameworks to quantify this feasible potential, urging caution in using techno-economic CDR assessments for policymaking.

An overshoot of the 1.5°C target seems inevitable, prompting urgent calls for comprehensive, interdisciplinary, and globally coordinated solar geoengineering research. Drawing lessons from the CGIAR agricultural network, this article proposes a global network of climate action centers to ensure reliable and legitimate research, guiding policymakers and donors in addressing this critical need.

Given that we are halfway to 2030, there is a greater need to accelerate our progress to SDGs. To the data gap, which is still a huge barrier for SDGs, Big Earth Data provide strong support to measure the status and trend of progress. Using Big Earth Data with global data acquisition and analysis capability, China can and should make more contributions to fill the data gap and give more data-driven suggestions for decision-makers for the world’s SDG efforts.

This article provides a comprehensive survey on fairness-aware recommender systems. As information filtering services, recommender systems have extremely enriched our daily life by providing personalized suggestions and facilitating people in decision-making, which makes them vital and indispensable to human society in the information era. However, as people become more dependent on them, recent studies show that recommender systems potentially own unintentional impacts on society and individuals because of their unfairness (e.g., gender discrimination in job recommendations).

A study published by Mukhopadhyay et al., 2023 investigates the long-term impact of subsurface drainage (SSD) on soil quality restoration and sugarcane productivity in waterlogged saline Vertisols in India. By using soil and water samples together with a farmer field survey, the authors showed that SSD significantly reduced soil salinity and improved various soil properties, leading to increased sugarcane yields by up to 585.5%. Farmers' perceptions indicated that SSD technology could substantially improve soil conditions and crop yields, and large-scale adoption of the technology will support the Sustainable Development Goals related to Land, No Poverty, and Zero Hunger in saline soils of India.
