“…This should come as no surprise that some populations are more vulnerable to the climate crisis than others [20]. Although developing economies are the least responsible for carbon emissions but the most impacted by them [21,22], environmental disparities in the advanced economies are also well documented [23]. These disparities have perhaps been best studied with regard to air quality since air pollution has been a long-recognized contributor to asthma and other respiratory diseases [24].…”

Purpose of review To describe the current state of knowledge on the impact on climate change on women's health and to highlight opportunities for healthcare providers to serve as advocates and subject matter experts. Recent findings Healthcare providers are a uniquely respected voice in society but have not used this advantage to advocate for their communities and participate in mitigation, adaptation, and resiliency efforts on behalf of their patients and communities. Summary Healthcare providers feel that climate change is real, is human caused, and is currently or will shortly negatively impact their patients. They feel unprepared to serve as leaders and advocates due to time limitations and a knowledge gap. Resources in the current climate movement can help close this gap.

“…Therefore, climate resilience must be built-in to reduce the impacts of climate change on these locations. Currently, most research and development focuses on collaborative development issues but decision support tools must be developed, the integration of databases including fundamental vulnerabilities in health, socio-economic factors, infrastructure, and the local environment (Tee Lewis et al, 2023). The American Agency for International Development (USAID) (2022) states that Southeast Asia faces challenges because it is the region most vulnerable to climate change.…”

This study reflects the experiences of communities who have adapted to climate change in three different geological locations in the country of Thailand: by the riverside, coast, and in the mountains. The communities presented the lessons learned and identified key adaptation factors. The study used in-depth interviews and focus group discussions, with results showing that the community’s learning and adaptation to climate change were at a high level. The results broaden understanding of climate change in these locations and provide information for resource management approaches. Among the seven factors, five factors illustrated that they were highly adapted, including: (1) applying knowledge about nature, ecosystems, and traditional wisdom; (2) management that allowed the use of adaptations; (3) a shared vision of success; (4) collaboration; and (5) having a variety of options and approaches. Two factors that illustated that the community was only moderately adapted included: (1) learning about violent events and disasters; and (2) following government guidelines. It was found that a lack of information about the ecosystems and environmental resources they required for large-scale infrastructure construction caused issues. This is a problem, and the government must consult with local communities when setting long-term plans and assessing needs, because communities have diverse livelihoods and depend on natural resources. Hence, future studies should include climate change awareness and understanding of what is required by adding community needs linked to climate change adaptation into state development plans as well as utilizing the wisdom and traditional knowledge involving ecology held by these communities into sustainability plans.

“…The ToxPi framework is a flexible method capable of analyzing disparate data from several different fields. It has been used to measure and compare total PFAS levels found in pine needles in North Carolina [ 2 ], to correlate phenotypic and environmental factors with lipid structures [ 3 ], to assess and rank county risk to Covid-19 across the United States [ 4 ] and to characterize climate change across the United States [ 5 ].…”
