Community‐Led Adaptation, Weather Extremes, and Health and Wellbeing
Community‐led action is of increasing interest for policy, local government, and the design of adaptation under a changing climate. Previous research has shown how community‐led responses to climate impacts, such as flooding and heat, can be important in mitigating their ill health and wellbeing effects. But the evidence base on the character and nature of such actions by communities is at present scattered. In this paper, we review the internati…

The population health effects from 5G
The development and implementation of the fifth-generation wireless technology (5G) are currently ongoing and have largely been met with enthusiasm from the telecommunication industry, applications industries, national governments, and the public.

Concerns relate to the perception that 5G might increase total exposure t…
Students’ Perceived Heat-Health Symptoms Increased with Warmer Classroom Temperatures
Temperatures in Africa are expected to increase by the end of the century. Heat-related health impacts and perceived health symptoms are potentially a problem, especially in public schools with limited resources. Students (n = 252) aged ~14-18 years from eight high schools completed an hourly heat-health symptom log over 5 days. Data loggers measured indoor classroom temperatures. A high proportion of students felt tired (97.2%), had low concentr…

An interest in the social functions of this institution suggested that it migh…
