Human society faces potential existential threats from climate change, overpopulation, disease, and natural disasters in the coming decades and centuries. The document outlines several predictions including the collapse of the US financial system by 2012 leading to societal chaos, as well as rising global temperatures causing severe weather events, extinction of species, changing disease vectors, and rising sea levels. Mitigating climate change through reducing greenhouse gas emissions and transitioning to renewable energy is discussed as key to ensuring human survival.
The document discusses megatrends that will impact global health in the 21st century through the lens of COVID-19. It identifies six megatrends: 1) change in population, 2) change in geopolitics, 3) climate change and environment, 4) improvements in technology, 5) urbanization, and 6) inequalities. It examines how each megatrend has evolved and been impacted by COVID-19, and outlines challenges and opportunities going forward in shaping global health, such as promoting more equitable societies and governance partnerships through sustainable development and innovation. The 2022 PMAC conference aims to convene experts to examine these megatrends and COVID-19's influence to inform alternatives for global health.

5th African RCE Conference Remarks by Prof. J.C. Maviiri, Uganda Martyrs Univ...ESD UNU-IAS
This document summarizes remarks made by Prof. J.C. Maviiri, Vice Chancellor of Uganda Martyrs University, at the 5th African RCE Conference on building stronger networks for transforming communities through education for sustainable development. It discusses challenges to the environment and development cited in reports like the Brundtland Commission. It also highlights perspectives on the environment from Pope Francis' encyclical. Finally, it examines three UN Sustainable Development Goals - ending poverty, ending hunger and malnutrition, and promoting inclusive economic growth and decent work - and their targets, and suggests the RCE approach can help accelerate sustainable solutions at local levels.
The document discusses the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all people by 2030. The 17 goals build on the Millennium Development Goals and cover new issues like climate change, economic inequality, and justice. The goals are interconnected and can only be achieved through global partnership and cooperation.
The document discusses governance for health, wellbeing, and sustainability from 1986 to the present and beyond to 2030. It summarizes the 1986 Ottawa Charter which laid out commitments to health promotion and equity. It then discusses how contexts have radically changed with globalization, urbanization, and other trends. It outlines ongoing and new areas of action for public health and determinants of health. The document argues for a renewed focus on the global, social, and political dimensions of public health for the 21st century.
How do population dynamics affect greenhouse gases and climate change? Will urbanization and an ageing population help or hinder efforts to adapt to a warming world? And could better reproductive health care and improved relations between women and men make a difference in the fight against climate change? Find the answers in the State of World Population 2009.
Ending poverty requires considering economic growth, social protection, and environmental stewardship together. Poverty has multiple causes including limited access to resources, climate change impacts, and ecosystem degradation. Integrated solutions are needed such as sustainable management of land and resources, payments for ecosystem services, green fiscal policies, and innovation to provide basic services while reducing environmental risks. Eradicating poverty requires a shift to view development, the environment, and people's well-being holistically.
This document outlines the key concepts of sustainable development including its definition, branches, goals and conclusion. Sustainable development is defined as meeting human development goals while sustaining natural systems. It has three branches - environmental, economic, and societal. The goals include eliminating poverty and hunger, ensuring health and education, achieving gender equality, clean water/sanitation, affordable energy, economic growth, reduced inequality and more. The conclusion states sustainable development depends on efficient resource use and the future is in people's hands.
Learn about sustainable development and its need in the world. How it helps reduce global warming, creating a better society with the help of sustainable social and economical development. It will help you learn to know various steps taken throughout the world.

Human ecology is an interdisciplinary field that studies the relationship between humans and their natural, social, and built environments. The postulate of human ecology states that on a limited area with limited resources, only a limited number of people with a certain behavior and culture can live to a certain standard while maintaining environmental quality. Overpopulation puts pressure on resources and can lead to issues like conflict over scarce resources, global migration, climate change, threats to political stability, and may even cause industrial civilization to collapse irreversibly. Recognizing the interdependence between humans and the environment, solutions need to be found through cooperation and changing perspectives on sustainability.
This document discusses integrated emergency response from a global perspective. It summarizes that from 2001-2010, on average, there were 707 disasters annually that affected 268 million people and caused $107.2 billion in damage. Most deaths and those affected were due to natural disasters like floods and drought. The document outlines the various organizations that provide emergency response, including medical, military, and humanitarian aid groups. It also discusses challenges like the interaction of risks, cascading effects, and myths around disasters.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

The science and art of promoting health and
wellbeing, preventing disease and prolonging life
through the organised efforts of society

‘We should regard want,
idleness , ignorance,
squalor and disease as
enemies of us all. That is
the meaning of a social
conscience; that we refuse
to make our separate
peace with evil.’
5. Human rights are everyone’s
business
“Where, after all, do universal
human rights begin? In small
places, close to home … they
are the world of the individual
person; the neighborhood he
lives in; the school or college he
attends; the factory, farm, or
office where he works”

56. Globally, mortality rates have decreased across all age groups over
the past five decades, with the largest improvements occurring
among children younger than 5 years. However, at the national
level, considerable heterogeneity remains in terms of both level
and rate of changes in age-specific mortality; increases in mortality
for certain age groups occurred in some locations.
Countries have saved more lives over the past decade, especially
among children under age 5, but persistent health problems, such
as obesity, conflict, and mental illness, comprise a “triad of
troubles,” and prevent people from living long, healthy lives.
Total deaths in children younger than 5 years decreased from 1970
to 2016, and slower decreases occurred at ages 5–24 years. By
contrast, numbers of adult deaths increased in each 5-year age
bracket above the age of 25 years.

99. We find the public health community ill-equipped and poorly
connected for the new challenges of ‘ISIS, crop failure and no
antibiotics’; we need to grow our partnerships with international
lawyers, political scientists, climate scientists and ecologists. To
those new challenges we now operate in the era of surveillance
capitalism, fake news and disinformation. We live increasingly in
political systems with little respect for expertise, willing to destroy
scientific capacity, ignore expert advice and promote disinformation.
The ‘merchants of doubt’ have infiltrated all political systems and all
aspects of policy making. The white horse, Conquest has taken on a
new guise – a cadre of elite, super-rich, world leaders who see
ignorance and partial information as virtues, suiting their control of
power and misuse of wealth. And, as in the Australian fires, the UK
floods, and in China in the early stages of coronavirus, these leaders
show themselves to be rabbits in the headlights, incompetent and

We are not in a war, we are in a civil

governmental failure ever in the UK. We
are victims of serial acts of negligence
and wilful mismanagement. It is the

propaganda; in the era of coronavirus,
blind acceptance of our rulers’ orders
will get you killed.

117. There are seven rules, for managers,
leaders and governments.
1. Communicate Clearly
‘We will announce lockdown extensions at
lunch-time every Thursday, based on data
you can see and track here…’
Management by mumbling doesn’t work.30/12/2020 116
118. 2. Avoid mixing up the
messages.
Be clear and bold; ‘What the
rules will be this time next
week, I don’t know but if you
go on holiday you are taking a
risk. Don’t come home
crying. It was your call to go’.
Manage by being clear about
who is responsible for what.

follow them. Spell out simple
guidance.

120. 4. Get aligned.
Covid variations among home
nations are partly political. Labour
Wales and SNP Scotland are very
good at making BoJo look flat-
foot. Remember, management…
electors or workforce, it’s about
people.
Manage with one clear tune. Get
people marching in step.

122. 5. Be clear…
… about how the decisions are made and
transparent about where the data is coming
from.
Management by rumour creates title tattle
and mistrust.

We know, this is about
keeping the holiday
businesses, airlines and
coffee shops going. Covid
safety is up to decisions made
by individuals. Say it.
Honest management is ethical
management.

couldn’t do it because no one
could.
Good managers, manage the
message.

governments fail to do the simplest of
things.
