“…For example, the high temperature and dry weather continued in China this summer, seriously affecting industrial and agricultural production. Thus, we need to carefully assess the current climate risks [52] and let the public and policy-makers know about these risks.…”

Innovation is a vital scientific activity for improvement of human production, quality of life and economic development in the globe. This review aims to discuss innovative strategies for a series of challenges of public health and sustainable growth as well as human diseases. Currently, there are huge challenges of public health due to both major viral infectious diseases (such as HIV infection and Covid-19) and major non-communicable diseases (such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer), as well as aging, climate change, industrialization, and urbanization. These challenges and risks greatly affect modern economic and social development not only in China but also in the globe. Herein, we should “know more, do better, and be smarter” about related knowledge and information, “reject misinformation and accept uncertainty”, and further understand the important roles of policies and laws as agents (PLA) in fighting against the infection of SARS-CoV-2 and its major variants, and effectively halting climate change for global health and sustainable growth. All in all, these innovative strategies and experiences in combating Covid-19 infection and climate change will help to get better economic and social development as well as sustainable growth in the countries worldwide, in particular the Covid-19 pandemic and post-COVID-19 era.

“…Much can be learned from exploring the problems involved in making the changes needed to combat climate change. It has been argued that new financial regulations are needed to enforce disclosure of climate risks [ 74 ]. However, the effects of mandatory compliance can have unforeseen consequences that vary from region to region and sector to sector [ 75 ].…”

The adverse environmental impacts of food production, the ill-health resulting from excess consumption and malnutrition, and the lack of resilience to the increasing number of threats to food availability show that the global system of food provision is not fit for purpose. Here, the causative flaws in the food system are identified and a framework presented for discovering the best ways to eliminate them. This framework is based upon an integrated view of the food system and the socio-economic systems in which it functions. The framework comprises an eight-point plan to describe the structure and functioning of the food system and to discover the optimum ways to bring about the changes needed to deliver a sustainable food future. The plan includes: priorities for research needed to provide options for change; an inclusive analytical methodology that uses the results of this research and incorporates acquisition, sharing and analysis of data; the need for actions at the local and national levels; and the requirements to overcome the barriers to change through education and international cooperation. The prospects for implementation of the plan and the required changes in the outcomes of the food system are discussed.

As climate change, environmental, social, and governance (ESG), along with sustainability, become increasingly crucial for businesses and society, there is a noticeable scarcity of information and transparency regarding corporate practices. Often, government agency enforcement actions lead to litigation and are ultimately resolved by court decisions. Moreover, in instances when there is perceived inadequacy in government enforcement, citizens frequently turn to the courts for preventive judgments against businesses or agencies. In an effort to shed light on the multifaceted aspects of climate change, we adopted a novel, exploratory approach to analyze climate change-related litigation cases. Utilizing a blend of machine learning-based text analytics, we have extracted key insights from individual case narratives. Our analysis encompassed over four hundred cases from the Westlaw database through various keyword searches. The emergent topics from our case dataset revolved around four critical environmental themes: forest, land, water, and air emissions. Our findings provide insight into the nature and dimensions of climate change and also carry significant policy implications, laying the groundwork for future research in this domain.
