Une étude de la revue médicale « The Lancet » estime que l’effondrement de l’Usaid risque « d’interrompre, voire d’inverser, deux décennies de progrès pour la santé des populations vulnérables ». Le VIH et le paludisme sont les principales causes de cette surmortalité attendue.

Eat-Lancet report recommended shift to more plant-based, climate-friendly diet but was extensively attacked online [...] The report recommended that if global red meat eating was cut by 50%, the “planetary health diet” would provide nutritious food to all while tackling the harms caused by animal agriculture, which accounts for over 14% of all greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. It suggested individuals – particularly in wealthy countries – should increase their consumption of nuts, pulses and other plant-based foods while cutting meat and sugar from their diets.

There are increasing concerns that continued economic growth in high-income countries might not be environmentally sustainable, socially beneficial, or economically achievable. In this Review, we explore the rapidly advancing field of post-growth research, which has evolved in response to these concerns. The central idea of post-growth is to replace the goal of increasing GDP with the goal of improving human wellbeing within planetary boundaries. Key advances discussed in this Review include: the development of ecological macroeconomic models that test policies for managing without growth; understanding and reducing the growth dependencies that tie social welfare to increasing GDP in the current economy; and characterising the policies and provisioning systems that would allow resource use to be reduced while improving human wellbeing. Despite recent advances in post-growth research, important questions remain, such as the politics of transition, and transformations in the relationship between the Global Nort

En utilisant une méthode statistique déjà éprouvée dans des conflits, des chercheurs ont tenté d’établir un compte des morts dans l’enclave. Ils sont parvenus au chiffre de 64 260 sur les neuf premiers mois de la riposte israélienne.

L’application vient d’ajouter une nouvelle fonctionnalité permettant à ses 22 millions d’utilisateurs français d’interpeller directement les marques utilisant ces substances potentiellement dangereuses pour la santé dans leurs produits.

Record-breaking temperatures were recorded across the globe in 2023. Without climate action, adverse climate-related health impacts are expected to worsen worldwide, affecting billions of people. Temperatures in Europe are warming at twice the rate of the global average, threatening the health of populations across the continent and leading to unnecessary loss of life. The Lancet Countdown in Europe was established in 2021, to assess the health profile of climate change aiming to stimulate European social and political will to implement rapid health-responsive climate mitigation and adaptation actions. In 2022, the collaboration published its indicator report, tracking progress on health and climate change via 33 indicators and across five domains.

Elk jaar sterven meer dan een miljoen mensen door een kortdurende blootstelling aan luchtvervuiling, zegt onderzoek in het medisch tijdschrift The Lancet. Minstens twee derde van die overlijdens zijn te betreuren in Azië.

Un rapport issu des travaux de 114 experts établit l’impact du réchauffement en matière de mortalité, d’insécurité alimentaire et de transmission des maladies.

Scientists have raised concerns about whether high-income countries, with their high per-capita CO2 emissions, can decarbonise fast enough to meet their obligations under the Paris Agreement if they continue to pursue aggregate economic growth. Over the past decade, some countries have reduced their CO2 emissions while increasing their gross domestic product (absolute decoupling). Politicians and media have hailed this as green growth. In this empirical study, we aimed to assess whether these achievements are consistent with the Paris Agreement, and whether Paris-compliant decoupling is within reach.

Welvarende landen slagen er niet in om economische groei in evenwicht te brengen met de internationale klimaatdoelstellingen. Spreken over ‘groene groei’ is misleidend, stelt een nieuwe studie in The Lancet, omdat deze landen er niet in slagen om hun emissies voldoende terug te dringen.
