    A planetary health perspective on menstruation: menstrual equity and climate action

    Originally published: The Lancet on May 2023 by Parnian Khorsand, Sara Dada, Laura Jung, Siufung Law, Poorvaprabha Patil, Marie-Claire Wangari, Omnia El Omrani, Kim van Daalen (more by The Lancet) (Posted May 10, 2023)

    Historically, blood-shedding has often been associated with heroic acts of valour. However, menstruation is not praised and cherished in the same way. Rather, menstruation is shrouded in secrecy, stigma, and stress, despite being a natural physiological process that occurs in a quarter of the global population.

    Existing climate mitigation scenarios perpetuate colonial inequalities

    Originally published: The Lancet on July 20, 2022 by Aljosa Slamersak (more by The Lancet)

    The core countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the rest of Europe (collectively referred to here as the Global North) use on average about 130 gigajoules of energy per capita each year, nearly ten times more than what low-income countries use (13·4 GJ/capita).

    Prevent pandemics and halt climate change? Strengthen land rights for Indigenous peoples

    Originally published: The Lancet on May 2022 by Jessica Hernandez, Julianne Meisner, Kevin Bardosh and Peter Rabinowitz (more by The Lancet) (Posted May 14, 2022)

    Land is and means different things to different people. Indigenous, pastoralist, and rural farming communities are especially dependent on land, which is widely recognised by conservation organisations. Such communities are often uniquely vulnerable to the effects of ecosystem destruction while simultaneously having strong social norms and cultural values that support ecosystem preservation.

    National responsibility for ecological breakdown: a fair-shares assessment of resource use, 1970–2017

    Originally published: The Lancet on April 1, 2022 by Prof Jason Hickel, PhD along with Daniel W O’Neill, PhD and Andrew L Fanning, PhD and Huzaifa Zoomkawala, BS (more by The Lancet) (Posted Apr 08, 2022)

    We propose a novel method for quantifying national responsibility for ecological breakdown by assessing nations’ cumulative material use in excess of equitable and sustainable boundaries.

    Originally published: The Lancet on December 2021 by Jessica Omukuti PhD, Matt Barlow PhD, Maria Eugenia Giraudo Tallulah Lines, MRes Prof Jean Grugel PhD (more by The Lancet) (Posted Dec 11, 2021)

    Policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic have highlighted the gendered aspect of pandemics; however, addressing the gendered implications of the COVID-19 pandemic comprehensively and effectively requires a planetary health perspective that embraces systems thinking to inequalities.

    A call to look beyond prescription opioid supply-side restrictions and include health equity when predicting opioid policy effectiveness

    Originally published: The Lancet on September 10, 2021 by Amie Goodin and Juan M. Hincapie-Castillo (more by The Lancet) (Posted Oct 12, 2021)

    We read with interest the study by Rao and colleagues on opioid policy effectiveness, which extends their previous modeling efforts to predict opioid-related overdose, life-years, and QALYs. This work presents a useful framework from which to investigate policy effectiveness.

    Offline: Medicine and Marx

    Originally published: The Lancet on November 4, 2017 by Richard Horton (more by The Lancet) (Posted Nov 09, 2017)

    When President Xi Jinping addressed the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China last month, he spoke of “the scientific truth of Marxism-Leninism”. Marxism (with Chinese characteristics), as President Xi went on to set out, is to be the foundation for a Healthy China.
