This article advances SDG # 13 through its Visual Earth (art feature) depicting the need to act now on Climate Change.
This article advances SDG # 3, 4, 8, 10 and 13 by compiling evidence showing that climate change and its various consequences can adversely affect brain development in the fetal through the early childhood stages. Long-term consequences on health, education and economies are significant. T
The data in this study highlights how important it is for future mental health policy and practice to incorporate support for those experiencing climate-related emotional distress and its mental health impacts.
This chapter advances UN SDG goal 7 and 13 by supporting clean, affordable energy for transition, focusing on affordability and impacts on energy transition and climate change.
Excessive heat due to climate change and air pollution are both worse in cities, but many pollution control (SDG 3) and climate mitigation (SDG 13) policies synergistically address both. This One Earth Research Article shows the health benefits of such efforts, which are necessary for improving life in cities (SDG 11).
This One Earth Research Article shows how reducing emissions of pollutants that contribute to unhealthy ozone levels in cities* can have benefits for both pollution control (SDG 3) and climate mitigation (SDG 13) for improved life in cities (SDG 11). *Note that ozone is a pollutant in the lower atmosphere but necessary for UV protection in the stratosphere.
"We're no acme or pinnacle of anything, we're just simply evolutionary steps," says this week's "World We Want" podcast guest, Dr. Gabriel Filippelli, of the human hubris surrounding climate change. In a long conversation, Márcia Balisciano and Dr. Filippeli, author of Climate Change and Life, touch upon the history of the world, both in terms of climate change and in the patterns of evolution and extinction, as well as what the presently changing climate means for human beings. Balancing pragmatism and optimism, this episode serves as a stark look at the reality of climate change and the will—political, environmental, and personal—needed to adapt.
This Comment supports SDGs 3 and 13 by highlighting the negative health impacts of climate change around the world and in Europe, and noting that populations most impacted by climate change tend to be the least responsible for contributing to it. The authors note that, like in the Global South, the most disadvantaged communities in Europe bear disproportionate burdens of negative health impacts of climate change, but that addressing this inequity is not currently an explicit goal of EU policies.
