  • Assessing heat exposure and its effects on farmer health, harvest yields, and nutrition

    Open AccessSandra Barteit, Windpanga Aristide Ouédraogo et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2025

    Rising temperatures in Africa present an increasing threat to agricultural productivity and public health, particularly among subsistence farming communities reliant on rain-fed agriculture. Heat exposure can impair farmers' work capacity, disrupt harvests, and heighten health risks, especially for young children vulnerable to undernutrition. The Heat to Harvest (H2H) study investigates how environmental heat exposure influences farmers' physiolo…

  • Every drop matters

    Open AccessEdmund Yeboah, Naasegnibe Kuunibe et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    Climate change is projected to induce extreme and irregular rainfall patterns in the West African Sahel region, affecting household food security and income. Children are among the worst affected population groups. Previous studies focusing on rainfall irregularities in specified periods have revealed how child health and nutritional status are impacted, especially in rural settings. However, the aggregated effect of rainfall over a lifetime on c…

  • The Impact of Rainfall Variability on Diets and Undernutrition of Young Children in Rural Burkina Faso

    Open AccessIsabel Mank, Kristine Belesova et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2021

    Background: Climate change and consequent increases in rainfall variability may have negative consequences for the food production of subsistence farmers in West Africa with adverse impacts on nutrition and health. We explored the pathway from rainfall through diet up to child undernutrition for rural Burkina Faso. Methods: The study used data of a dynamic cohort with 1,439 children aged 7–60 months from the Nouna Health and Demographic Surveilla…

  • A multi-scalar perspective on health and urban housing

    Open AccessCatalina Turcu, Melanie Crane et al.ARTICLEBuildings and Cities2021Citada por: 1Referências: 3

    With more than half the world's population living in cities, understanding how the built environment impacts human health at different urban scales is crucial. To be able to shape cities for health, an understanding is needed of planetary health impacts, which encompass the human health impacts of human-caused disruptions on the Earth's natural ecosystems. This umbrella review maps health evidence across the spatial scales of the built environmen…

  • Evaluating Housing Health Hazards

    Open AccessEmily Nix, Jacob Paulose et al.ARTICLEJournal of Urban Health2020Referências: 2

    Housing quality is crucially linked to health and sustainability goals, yet there is limited research on informal housing and settlements where housing quality is poor, and the health risks are expected to be greatest. This paper describes the investigation of housing conditions in a low-income resettlement colony in Delhi. A novel transdisciplinary methodology to evaluate multiple housing health hazards and establish intervention priorities in p…

  • Governance through Economic Paradigms

    Open AccessKristine Belesova, I Kelman et al.ARTICLEPolitics and Governance2016Citada por: 1Referências: 3

    Climate change is a major challenge for sustainable development, impacting human health, wellbeing, security, and livelihoods. While the post-2015 development agenda sets out action on climate change as one of the Sustainable Development Goals, there is little provision on how this can be achieved in tandem with the desired economic progress and the required improvements in health and wellbeing. This paper examines synergies and tensions between …
