The study developed a Heatwave Health Risk Index for Karnataka (India), identifying northern and central districts as most hazard-prone, with Bidar, Kalaburagi, Gadag, and Dharwad classified as 'very high risk'. The findings aim to guide policymakers in prioritizing targeted adaptation strategies to mitigate heatwave impacts across the state.
This article examines the differences in heat-related illness (HRI) outcomes between urban and rural areas in the United States using data from the National Emergency Medical Services Information System (NEMSIS) from 2021 to 2023.

This article examines the concept of "anticipatory solastalgia" - the distress felt in the present about expected future environmental decline due to climate change.
This article touches upon the policy gaps in enabling net-zero energy systems in the US.
This paper discusses Australia's first pass qualitative climate risk assessment, comparing it with 15 other national assessments to identify common themes and differences, and suggests that developing a shared framework could enhance international collaboration and coordinated climate action.
This scoping review identified various adaptation strategies to protect maternal and child health from climate change effects, highlighting the need for more tailored, context-specific interventions involving pregnant women and local healthcare services.
This paper discusses Australia's first pass qualitative climate risk assessment process, compares it with other national assessments, and offers insights and themes to inform the development of a common framework for global climate risk evaluations.
This study explores nanostructured MOF-composite membranes as a promising technology for enhanced CO2 capture, highlighting improved gas separation performance, stability, and scalability while addressing challenges like regeneration and sustainability through advanced synthesis and modeling approaches.
This study compares traditional Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) and emerging water electrolysis methods (PEMEC and SOEC) for ammonia production, evaluating their economic viability and CO2 emissions under varying electricity prices and carbon intensities. Results show that PEMEC is most cost-effective at very low electricity prices, SOEC gains competitiveness as prices rise, and SMR is preferable above 0.08 /kWhe, with CO2 emissions depending heavily on electricity carbon intensity; projections indicate SOEC will become highly cost-competitive by 20302040.
This article examines the exposures and health impacts experienced by female sugarcane workers in Guatemala, focusing on heat stress, particulate matter exposure, and kidney function. The key findings indicate that these women face elevated levels of heat and particulate matter at work, leading to dehydration and reduced kidney function. The study highlights the need for gender-responsive interventions to address the unique health risks faced by women in agricultural settings.
