Setting research priorities to understand the biological impacts of climate and environmental change on maternal, newborn and child health and nutrition globally
H 0110Within climate change, much work has been done around epidemiology and risks; however our understanding of biological and environmental pathways and mechanisms through which climate change affects human health and development remains limited. To shed light on this understanding, a two-day symposium/workshop was held in Toronto in December 2023 consisting of global and regional experts […]

Setting research priorities within climate change to address key gaps in maternal, child and adolescent health: A focus on low- and middle-income countries in Africa, Asia and the Middle-East
H 0110Climate change (CC) is now the biggest global health threat of the 21st century. Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are particularly vulnerable to CC, however the global evidence in relation to (health and nutrition) risk relationships in LMICs remains limited and interventions related to adaptation and building resilience fragmented. To shed light on this pressing […]

Research priorities for addressing climate change and human health and nutrition gaps
H 0110Climate change poses significant threats to global health, with its effects disproportionately impacting low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). While there is a growing emphasis on producing evidence to understand the relationship between climate change and health, there remains a dearth of evidence for LMICs. We aimed to summarize current evidence on the health impacts of […]

A conceptual framework for assessing climate change risk factors and consequences for human nutrition
H 0110Pathways for the impacts of climate change on human health and well-being are multifaceted, and require sustainable multisectoral responses involving adaptation, mitigation, and resilience. Climate change can impact human nutrition and health through several pathways, including direct effects such as heat-related changes in human behaviour and physiology, and indirect effects through agriculture and food systems.

Just transitions and Green New Deals: concept synthesis of the qualitative literature
H 0110Global discourses surrounding the low-carbon transition increasingly feature calls for equity and justice. Momentum behind just transition principles is growing, evolving significantly from their introduction by U.S. trade unions in the 1980s. Recently, just transition principles have begun shaping policies and governance strategies internationally. Some approaches focus narrowly on worker protections in industries undergoing structural […]

A systematic mixed-methods review of public perceptions on carbon dioxide removal
H 0110Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is a critical component of strategies to limit global warming to well below 2°C. Development and deployment of CDR methods will be crucial in the next decades as CDR needs to be scaled to several gigatonnes by mid-century. How CDR is perceived will play a vital role for this process, as […]

Applying Qualitative Synthesis Methods in Environment and Development: Challenges and Lessons Learned
H 0110Systematic reviews, renowned for their explicit methodologies in identifying, appraising, analyzing, and synthesizing study findings, have played a crucial role in shaping research, policy, and practice across various sectors, from health to international development and environmental management. In the realm of environmental and development research, the unique complexities and nature of these fields have led […]

Managing expectations in the application of quality and strength of evidence assessments in qualitative synthesis
H 0110Approaches to assessing the strengths and limitations of qualitative studies included in evidence syntheses continue to be discussed in the synthesis community (e.g., Garside 2014, Noyes et al. 2023). This presentation discusses such strengths and limitations in the application of evidence quality and confidence in findings assessments we used in a review of food production […]

Integrity of corporate net zero pledges: Analysis of major food and beverages companies
H 0110Food and beverage companies have a crucial role to play in cutting global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This study analyses net-zero and interim emission reduction targets of the world’s 20 largest food and beverage companies by revenue, which collectively account for more than 1 GtCO2e of direct and indirect emissions annually in the context of […]

Closing the gap between research and projects in climate change innovation in Europe
H 0110Innovation is a key component to equip our society with tools to adapt to new climatic conditions. The alignment of scientific research and innovation support shifts useful ideas into operationalized knowledge allowing innovation to flourish. In this paper we quantify the existing gap between climate research and innovation funding in Europe using a novel framework […]
