This public health review addresses the intricate challenges posed by global nutrition and examines the impact of dietary risks on the well-being of populations worldwide. In an era marked by diverse dietary patterns, the prevalence of both undernutrition and overnutrition presents a complex public health landscape. This paper encapsulates the key aspects explored in the comprehensive analysis, emphasizing the urgent need for targeted interventions. The review delves into the multifaceted nature of global nutrition challenges, considering factors such as food insecurity, inadequate dietary diversity, and the rising prevalence of diet-related non-communicable diseases. Highlighting the interconnectedness of nutrition and public health, the document scrutinizes the disparities in nutritional outcomes across different regions, socioeconomic groups, and age categories. Moreover, the paper outlines evidence-based interventions aimed at addressing these challenges. These interventions encompass policy initiatives, community-based programs, and educational campaigns designed to promote healthier dietary choices. Special emphasis is placed on the role of stakeholders, including governments, non-governmental organizations, and the food industry, in fostering a supportive environment for improved nutrition. The paper concludes by emphasizing the urgency of a concerted global effort to tackle nutrition challenges comprehensively. It underscores the significance of adopting a multifaceted approach that integrates preventive measures, policy changes, and community engagement to foster a sustainable and equitable impact on global nutrition. The insights presented in this review serve as a call to action for policymakers, healthcare professionals, and public health advocates to collaborate in mitigating the adverse effects of dietary risks and building a healthier, more resilient global population.

In a period characterised by an increasing recognition of environmental concerns and the pressing requirement for sustainable methodologies, the convergence of sustainability and production design has emerged as a pivotal area of focus. The paper addresses the intricate interplay between creative production methods and the pressing need to reduce their environmental impact. This study explores the complex problems and potential benefits associated with integrating artistic innovation and ecological responsibility, drawing on multiple disciplines. This study critically examines the underlying concepts that underpin sustainable design across several industries, including fashion, architecture, cinema, and product manufacturing. It places particular emphasis on the influence of these principles on both the creative process and the final outcomes of these industries. This abstract examines the significant significance of ecoconscious production design in the reduction of waste, conservation of resources, and mitigation of environmental damage. By utilising real-world case studies and examining new trends, this research underscores the possibility of fostering collaboration among artists, designers, engineers, and sustainability specialists. This collaboration aims to develop environmentally sustainable, visually appealing, and socially responsible works. This research provide a complete understanding of the obstacles and potential associated with eco-conscious creation, with the goal of empowering creators, enterprises, and policymakers in the domain of sustainability and production design. By efficiently managing the navigation of this intersection, we may establish the conditions necessary for a more peaceful coexistence between human creativity and the natural environment, so guaranteeing a more promising and sustainable future for all stakeholders involved.

This study aims to theoretically explore the technological systems of tropical island zero-carbon building (TIZCB) to scientifically understand the characteristics of these buildings in terms of energy utilization, energy conservation, energy production, and intelligent system mechanisms. The purpose is to address the inefficiencies and resource wastage caused by the traditional segmented approach to building energy consumption management. Thus, it seeks to achieve a comprehensive understanding and application of the zero-carbon building (ZCB) technology system. This article focuses on the demands for energy-efficient comfort and innovative industrialization in construction. Through an analysis of the characteristics of TIZCB and an explanation of their concepts, it establishes a theoretical framework for examining the system mechanisms of these buildings. Additionally, it delves into the energy utilization, energy conservation, energy production, and intelligent system from macro, meso, and micro perspectives. This approach results in the development of an implementation strategy for studying the mechanisms of energy usage, conservation, and intelligent production systems in TIZCB. The results show that: (1) this study delves into the theoretical underpinnings of TIZCB, emphasizing their evolution from a foundation of low-carbon and near-zero energy consumption. The primary goal is to achieve zero carbon emissions during building operation, with reliance on renewable energy sources. Design considerations prioritize adaptation to high-temperature and high-humidity conditions, integrating regional culture along with the utilization of new materials and technologies. (2) A comprehensive technical framework for TIZCB is proposed, encompassing energy utilization, conservation, production capacity, and intelligent systems. Drawing from systems theory, control theory, and synergy theory, the research employs a macro–meso–micro analytical framework, offering extensive theoretical support for the practical aspects of design and optimization. (3) The research implementation plan establishes parameterized models, unveiling the intricate relationships with building performance. It provides optimized intelligent system design parameters for economically viable zero-carbon operations. This study contributes theoretical and practical support for the sustainable development of TIZCB and aligns with the dual carbon strategy in China and the clean energy free trade zone construction in Hainan.
