The Centre for Global Health, Trinity College Dublin has as one of its goals, strengthening health systems in developing countries. In realising this goal we work across more than 40 countries with third-level, civil society, government, private sector and UN partners. Each these requires that different relationships be established. Good principles must guide all global research partnerships. An exploratory project was undertaken partners of, staff within, the Health. aim to build an...
Climate change and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) present crucial challenges for the health wellbeing of people, animals, plants, ecosystems worldwide, yet two are largely treated as separate unrelated challenges. The aim this systematic scoping Review is to understand nature growing evidence base linking AMR climate identify knowledge gaps areas further research. We conducted a search peer-reviewed literature in Scopus, Web Science, PubMed on 27 June, 2022. Our strategy identified screened...

Abstract We present the first systematic, global stocktake of academic literature on human adaptation. screen 48,316 documents and identify 1,682 articles that empirical research documenting efforts to reduce risk from climate change associated hazards. Coding synthesizing this highlights overall extent adaptation across regions sectors is low. Adaptations are largely local incremental rather than transformative. Behavioural adjustments by individuals households more prevalent any other type...
Impoverished communities often turn to illegal extraction of resources from protected areas alleviate economic pressures or make monetary gains. Such practices can cause ecological damage and threaten animal populations. These also face a high disease burden typically do not have access affordable health care. Here we argue that these two seemingly separate challenges may common solution. In particular, providing care adjacent be an efficient effective way reduce the while improving local...
