Few studies examined the association between prenatal long-term ambient temperature exposure and stillbirth fewer still from developing countries. Rather than temperature, we used a human thermophysiological index, Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) to investigate role of heat stress on in Ghana.District-level monthly UTCI was linked with 90,532 stillbirths 5,961,328 births across all 260 local districts 1st January 2012 31st December 2020. A within-space time-series design applied distributed lag nonlinear models conditional quasi-Poisson regression.The mean (28.5 ± 2.1 °C) median (28.8 indicated moderate stress.

Humanity is now facing what may be the biggest challenge to its existence: irreversible climate change brought about by human activity. Our planet in a state of emergency, and we only have short window time (7–8 years) enact meaningful change. The goal this systematic literature review summarize peer-reviewed on proposed solutions last 20 years (2002–2022), propose framework for unified approach solving crisis. Solutions reviewed include transition toward use renewable energy resources, reduced consumption, rethinking global transport sector, nature-based solutions. This highlights one most important but overlooked pieces puzzle problem – gradual shift plant-based diet phaseout factory (industrialized animal) farming, damaging prolific form animal agriculture. industrialized farming can achieved increasingly replacing meat other products with products, ending government subsidies animal-based meat, dairy, eggs, initiating taxes such products. Failure act will ultimately result scenario widespread famine disease, devastation, refugees, warfare. We therefore suggest an "All Life" approach, invoking interconnectedness all life forms our planet. logistics achieving standardization Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) or similar measures introduction regulatory body verification measures. These approaches help deliver environmental sustainability benefits far beyond immediate reduction warming.

The change of temperature and weather parameters is a major concern affecting sustainable development impacting various sectors, such as agriculture, tourism, industry. Changing patterns their impact on water resources are important climatic factors that society facing. In Thailand, climatological features ambient temperature, relative humidity, precipitation play substantial role in extreme events, which cause damage to the economy, livelihood people. To investigate recent serious changes annual trends this study used Mann-Kendall (MK) test innovative trend analysis (ITA) methods. MK showed all six regions had an upward humidity index (humidex, how hot feels average person), while both downward across different regions. ITA method further confirmed humidex most data points fell above 1:1 line. However, variables was not significant at 5% level. southern eastern level significance according test. output can help understanding variations predict future situations be for adaptation strategies.

Malaria, a severe vector-borne disease, affects billions of people globally and claims over half million lives annually. Climate change can impact lifespan the development vectors. There is gap in organized, multidisciplined research on climate change’s malaria incidence transmission. This review assesses summarizes effects human health, specifically malaria. Results suggest that higher temperatures accelerate larval development, promote reproduction, enhance blood feed frequency, increase digestion, shorten vector life cycles, lower mortality rates. Rainfall provides aquatic stages, extends mosquitoes’ lifespans, increases cases. Mosquito activity with high humidity, which facilitates Flooding lead to increased inhabitation population growth, habitat diversion, increasing breeding sites number Droughts range by creating new grounds. Strong storms wash Anopheles’ eggs reproduction habitat. It limits disease outbreaks.
