This article takes a first-hand perspective to document women's disability justice activism in Ukraine, feminist and disability solidarities across regional and national borders, and the important roles Ukrainian women play in creating and sustaining communities of care. By contributing to the scholarship on disability inclusive disaster response, the gendered nature of care, and intersectional approaches to disability advocacy, it argues that Women with disabilities (WWD) provides pathways for expanding agendas of civic groups to be more inclusive.

Increasing plant productivity resilience to drought plays an important role in ecosystem services, and while soil organic matter (SOM) promotes plant growth, its role in mitigating aboveground biomass (AGB) loss as a result of drought in alpine grasslands is unclear. This study by Zhao et al., 2023 examined 209 alpine grassland sites on the Tibetan Plateau and revealed that AGB decreases with increasing aridity (above 0.37), and a stronger positive relationship between AGB and SOM is observed in more arid conditions, suggesting the significance of soil carbon sequestration strategies for biomass production and climate change mitigation in arid areas.

Background: An essential dietary strategy to address the rapidly increasing risk of the double burden of malnutrition among indigenous populations around the world is to improve nutritional and food diversity utilizing varieties of traditional plant-based foods. Objectives: The objective of this research was to identify wild edible plants (WEPs) frequently consumed by the Semai and analyze their proximate and mineral composition to improve the adequacy of the local population's nutritional intake.

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.
