Climate change is a profound crisis that affects every aspect of life, including public health. Changes in environmental conditions can promote the spread pathogens and development new mutants strains. Early detection essential managing controlling this improving overall health outcomes. This perspective article introduces basic biosensing concepts various biosensors, electrochemical, optical, mass-based, nano single-molecule as important sustainability preventive tools. The discussion also includes how biosensor crucial to minimizing impacts ensuring long-term availability vital technologies resources for healthcare, monitoring, beyond. One promising avenue pathogen screening could be electrical biomolecules at level, some recent developments based on bioelectronics using Scanning Tunneling Microscopy-assisted break junctions (STM-BJ) technique are shown here. Using technique, detected with high sensitivity, eliminating need amplification cell culture steps, thereby enhancing speed efficiency. Furthermore, STM-BJ demonstrates exceptional specificity, accurately detects single-base mismatches, exhibits limit essentially level individual biomolecules. Finally, case made here sustainable they help, paradigm shift needed achieve them, potential applications.

Since agricultural productivity is weather and climate-related fundamentally depends on climate stability, change poses many diverse challenges to activities. The objective of this study review adaptation strategies interventions in countries around the world proposed for implementation reduce impact development production at various spatial scales. A literature search was conducted June–August 2023 using electronic databases Google Scholar Scientific Electronic Library eLibrary.RU, seeking key words “climate”, “climate change”, “agriculture adaptation”. Sixty-five studies were identified selected review. negative impacts are expressed terms reduced crop yields area, biotic abiotic factors, economic losses, increased labor, equipment costs. Strategies actions that can be emphasized local regional levels are: varieties management, including land use innovative breeding techniques; water soil agronomic practices; farmer training knowledge transfer; national levels: financial schemes, insurance, migration, culture; meteorological services; R&D, early warning systems. Adaptation depend context, region, or country; limiting discussion options measures only one type approach—"top-down” “bottom-up”—may lead unsatisfactory solutions those areas most affected by but with few resources adapt it. Biodiversity-based, “ecologically intensive” agriculture, climate-smart agriculture low-impact strong ecological modernization aiming sustainably increase incomes while addressing interrelated food security. Some taken response may not sufficient even vulnerability change. Future research should focus explore readiness farmers society adopt new constraints they face, as well main factors affecting them, order detect maladaptation before it occurs.

Background: This study aims to investigate the current impacts of extreme temperature and heatwaves on human health in terms both mortality morbidity. systematic review analyzed impact mortality, morbidity, associated vulnerability factors, focusing sensitivity component. Methods: was conducted according Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses 2020 flow checklist. Four databases (Scopus, Web Science, EBSCOhost, PubMed) were searched articles published from 2012 2022. Those eligible evaluated using Navigation Guide Review framework. Results: A total 32 included review. Heatwave events increased morbidity incidence. Sociodemographic (elderly, children, male, female, low socioeconomic, education), medical conditions (cardiopulmonary diseases, renal disease, diabetes, mental disease), rural areas crucial factors. Conclusions: While are critical aspects measuring health, context sociodemographic, conditions, locality posed a higher certain groups. Therefore, further research climate change may help stakeholders strategize effective plans reduce effect heatwaves.

In recent years, the adverse effect of climate change on soil properties in agricultural sector has become a dreadful reality worldwide. Climate change-induced abiotic stresses such as salinity, drought and temperature fluctuations are devastating crops’ physiological responses, productivity overall yield, which is ultimately posing serious threat to global food security agroecosystems. The applications chemical fertilizers pesticides contribute towards further deterioration rapid changes climate. Therefore, more careful, eco-friendly sustainable strategies required mitigate impact climate-induced damage sector. This paper reviews recently reported damaging impacts various crops, along with two emerging mitigation strategies, biochar biostimulants, light studies focusing combating worsening deteriorated environment yields, environment. Here, we highlighted agriculture applying an aim protecting soil,

The Mediterranean basin and specifically Northeast Italy are recognised as climate change hotspots. latter is a key socio-economic area in Europe among the most agriculturally productive. However, increasingly frequent drought periods (typical of drier climates) threatening agriculture. An extreme event occurred summer 2022. It dramatically affected northern Italy, through high temperatures, water shortages indirect processes (such saltwater intrusion Po River Delta). objective to map quantify agricultural areas at risk zone shift due human-induced change, providing comprehensive overview main threatened systems supporting use projections historical data analysis. We compared distribution current (1980 > 2016) future (2071 2100; RCP8.5 scenario) zones for 8 14 provinces Italy. Further analyses were performed on support analyse during events: (1) multi-temporal Aridity Index (AI) investigate aridification dynamics; (2) focus 2022 (drought temperature extremes, situation that likely occur more often future), combining Vegetation Health (VHI) with zonal investigation Land Surface Temperature (LST); (3) Delta cultural landscape. results show evolving towards conditions, posing challenge Adriatic coast could become an Arid zone, finding line observations. Rice fields will be (76% their surface well irrigated lands essential food security (around 20% expected zone). Worthy what foreseen crops slopes (often not irrigated), which may experience summers (60% surface). identified farm scale mapping where located, extent is, currently implemented. Such information would facilitate early action, guiding large-scale planning resilient Findings promote sustainable management plans, open debate worth growing based climate, inspire localised studies design mitigation measures.

Soils are crucial life supporters and nutrient providers, their functionality impacted by nutritional balance, pH, organic matter content. These substrates help regulate water, support diverse organisms, play a critical role in carbon sequestration, especially the context of climate change. However, soils under threat from anthropogenic climatic pressures, warranting active resource management strategies. The European Union (EU) has acknowledged soil sustainability’s importance, encouraging eco-friendly agricultural practices enhanced storage. criticality is often overlooked when establishing global sustainable development goals. Counteracting degradation key battling desertification influenced factors like unsustainable agriculture, deforestation, poor irrigation. Innovative solutions circular economy approaches biomass utilization necessary to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Also, improving dietary habits reducing food waste can mitigate environmental impact consumption, with shift towards plant-based proteins being more sustainable. Addressing these challenges will contribute resilient future.
