World leaders at the UNGA adopted a historic declaration to combat noncommunicable diseases and mental health issues through integrated global targets for 2030, emphasizing prevention, access to care, and a whole-of-society approach to improve health outcomes worldwide.
Ambitious global targets to halt the decline in biodiversity may be slipping out of reach due to underestimation of the effects of climate change and habitat loss on animal populations, according to a study. The research analysed trends in populations of over 600 species of birds and mammals and found that past modelling work had largely ignored time lags of decades before the effects of drivers such as climate change and habitat loss kick in. Immediate action on unsustainable hunting and over-exploitation of natural resources will have immediate and far-ranging benefits, the study suggests.
