It intended inform national global accreditation standards, planning action at the institutional level as well highlight role individuals in transforming health professions education. Many countries have agreed 'rapid, far-reaching unprecedented changes' reduce...
Changes in climate, conjunction with other drivers of mobility, shape human migration. While there is an increasing focus on the adaptive potential migration, health impacts climate-related including planned relocation and forced displacement, have not been thoroughly examined. The Intergovernmental Panel Climate Change stated that migration currently, will increasingly be, influenced by environmental degradation climate change, it needs to be addressed a focused coordinated manner. This...
There has been a remarkable push for the use of positionality statements—also known as reflexivity statements—in scientific-journal articles and other research literatures. Grounded in reputable philosophical traditions, statements are meant to address genuine concerns about limits knowledge production. However, there at least three reasons why they should be avoided scholarship. First, it is impossible construct credible because constrained by very seek address. Second, unnecessary reducing...
Across the world, from our unique place within multi-disciplinary health teams, nurses are preparing for, working to overcome, or recovering first waves of worst pandemic humanity has seen in a century. While media, predominantly depicted providing direct patient care; we also well represented at every level response advising governments leading research, coordinating public and strategizing humanitarian responses COVID-19.

Abstract Extreme heat events impact people and ecosystems across the globe, they are becoming more frequent intense in a warming climate. Responses to span sectors geographic boundaries. Prior research has documented technologies or options that can be deployed manage extreme examples of how individuals, communities, governments other stakeholder groups adapting heat. However, comprehensive understanding current state implemented adaptations—where, why, what extent occurring—has not been...
Merit is a central pillar of liberal epistemology, humanism, and democracy. The scientific enterprise, built on merit, has proven effective in generating technological advances, reducing suffering, narrowing social gaps, improving the quality life globally. This perspective documents ongoing attempts to undermine core principles epistemology replace merit with non-scientific, politically motivated criteria. We explain philosophical origins this conflict, document intrusion ideology into our...
Background: As recognition of the health impacts climate change and other environmental challenges increases, so too does need for care professionals to practice healthcare sustainably. Environmental sustainability in extends beyond our traditional understanding health, which is often limited hazards disease. Health services, professional organizations, training institutions are increasingly forming position statements policies accordingly. To prepare future global change, must be...
Background. Climate change and climate variability interact with political, economic, social, demographic, other environmental drivers to the scale patterns of human migration5. In context accelerating breaches planetary boundaries, there is an urgent need better understand how migrant health can be protected promoted in a changing manage safe orderly migration6. While research has focused on separate dyads (i) migration (ii) health, limited consideration been given nexus between change,...
Abstract Background The circular economy framework for human production and consumption is an alternative to the traditional, linear concept of ‘take, make, dispose’. Circular (CE) principles comprise ‘design out waste pollution’, ‘retain products materials in use’, ‘regenerate natural systems’. This commentary considers risks opportunities CE low- middle-income countries (LMICs) context Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), acknowledging that LMICs must identify their own opportunities,...

Abstract Migration is often considered a form of climate change adaptation by which individuals, households, and communities seek to reduce the risks associated with change. In this study, we examine first-time seasonal migration out village in North-Western Burkina Faso neighbouring countries, triggered more irregular rainfall patterns. Through set 52 qualitative interviews, analyse perceptions migrants themselves as well sending community regarding consequences. Men migrated off-season,...
Abstract Introduction An appreciation of the experience Ebola survivors is critical for community engagement and an effective outbreak response. Few qualitative, descriptive studies have been conducted to date that concentrate on voices survivors. Problem This study aimed explore experiences following West African epidemic 2014. Method interpretive, qualitative design was selected using semi-structured interviews as method data collection. Data were collected in August 2015 by Médecins Sans...
Climate change influences patterns of human mobility and health outcomes. While much the climate migration discourse is invested in quantitative predictions debates about whether adaptive or maladaptive, less attention has been paid to voices people moving context with a focus on their wellbeing. This qualitative research aims amplify migrants themselves add nuance dominant narratives shed light real-life challenges face meeting needs change.We conducted 58 semi-structured in-depth...
Climate change amplifies health risks, including through the impacts of climate-related displacement. Yet diverse mobility responses in a warming world can also provide pathway for climate adaptation. This article examines connections between climatic and environmental change, human health. It presents case studies across three countries: Fiji, Bangladesh, Burkina Faso. All used qualitative methods, semi-structured interviews, storytelling, group discussions. The Fiji study focuses on...
Climate change is anticipated to significantly affect human migration, driven by factors such as crop failures, rising sea levels, and water insecurity. The African continent particularly vulnerable due its population's limited adaptive capacity. However, collecting migration data challenging, especially in regions lacking reliable demographic epidemiological census data. Consequently, empirical evidence linking patterns climate variability Africa scarce. We analysed from 196,320 individuals...
