As environmental, technological and societal change join forces to disrupt human and planetary health, the world must get better at tracking and responding to a host of emerging challenges, according to a new report from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the International Science Council (ISC).

The escalation of urbanisation contributes significantly to climate change and exacerbates environmental, health and social disparities, especially affecting impoverished and vulnerable communities in the urban periphery. 

Undiagnosed diabetes poses significant public health challenges in Ghana.Numerous factors may influence the prevalence of undiagnosed diabetes among adults, and therefore,using a model that takes into account the intricate network of these relationships should be considered.

Anti-malarial drug resistance in Plasmodium falciparum is a major public health problem in malaria-endemic regions. Although various technical improvements in sequencing methods have been introduced to identify SNPs, the conventional approach with current tools does not discriminate mixed infections, and thus can be improved for more sensitive surveillance of anti-malarial resistance to better inform control strategies.

In 2021, one in five people in Africa was affected by hunger, and the continent had the highest prevalence of undernourished people globally. We argue that food systems in Africa can be more resilient if their development includes climate adaptation.
