This study leverages crowdsourced urban climate data to provide more inclusive and granular insights into urban heat dynamics, addressing gaps in traditional monitoring that often overlook marginalized communities. By harnessing freely available citizen science observations, the method supports the World Population Day theme of "To Leave No One Behind, Count Everyone," enabling more equitable and comprehensive data to inform sustainable urban development and climate resilience.

Despite global progress, maternal mortality remains high, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, highlighting the urgent need for strong leadership, increased investment in well-trained midwives, and equitable, culturally sensitive maternity care to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal of reducing maternal deaths to less than 70 per 100,000 live births by 2030.

This article outlines a theory of goodness, coupled with some of its practical implications for impact-making, governance and lives more generally. The theory proposes that goodness consists of positive feelings and whatever promotes them, such as the joy of a meaningful conversation or the satisfaction of eating food, for instance. Although it is a version of ethical hedonism, the theory is also called welfarism since it allocates a central role to affect and since affect is central to some prevalent measures of 'subjective wellbeing'.

This paper reviews and compares four leading healthy diet metrics: GDQS, GDR score, MDD-W, and Nova UPF score, for their accuracy, ease of use, and global applicability in monitoring dietary quality. The findings highlight that the Minimum Dietary Diversity for Women (MDD-W) offers the strongest predictive accuracy for nutrient adequacy using a simple, scalable method, while also emphasizing the need for further research on metrics assessing moderation and cross-country comparability.
