Cycling behaviour in 17 countries across 6 continents: levels of cycling, who cycles, for what purpose, and how far?

Rahul Goel et al.

Summary: International comparisons have shown that the level of cycling is correlated with the representation of women and different age groups. Areas with higher cycling rates tend to have more female cyclists and diverse age groups. It is recommended to include gender and age group usage as benchmarks in evaluating cycling policies.

A Pilot Forecasting System for Epidemic Thunderstorm Asthma in Southeastern Australia

Tony Bannister et al.

Summary: The state of Victoria in Australia experienced a rare epidemic thunderstorm asthma event in 2016, leading to a pilot forecasting system being developed to predict such risks in the future. Although historically infrequent, high and moderate asthma presentation events were identified in the first three years of the pilot, showing the system's skill in discriminating between days with and without health impacts. However, challenges remain in accurately predicting this unusual phenomenon.

Potential Impacts of Extreme Heat and Bushfires on Dementia

Taya L. Farugia et al.

Summary: Australia faces natural disasters and extreme weather conditions, with an increasing elderly population and limited research on their ability to cope with extreme heat and bushfires. Vulnerable communities, including those with dementia, are particularly at risk and there is a significant association between mental disorders and increased vulnerability to extreme heat. The paper explores the impact on individuals living with dementia in rural and metropolitan areas, recommending strategies for prevention and support services.

Trajectories of depression and anxiety symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic in a representative Australian adult cohort

Philip J. Batterham et al.

Summary: This study investigated the levels and trajectories of depression and anxiety symptoms during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia. Three trajectories for depression symptoms and four trajectories for anxiety symptoms were identified. Factors such as age, gender, COVID-19-related work and social impairment, financial distress, neurological or mental illness diagnosis, and recent adversity were significantly associated with baseline depression and anxiety scores.

Environmental impacts of Australia's largest health system

Arunima Malik et al.

Summary: Climate change is causing various impacts on communities, while the health system in New South Wales is found to have significant environmental impacts, responsible for a considerable portion of greenhouse gas emissions, water use, and waste production in the state's economy. Targeted policies are needed to reduce not only the direct impacts of health systems, but also those from their supply chains connecting with other economic sectors.

Fighting the future: The politics of climate policy failure in Australia (2015-2020)

Kate Crowley

Summary: This review highlights the challenges faced by Australia in climate policy after 2015, emphasizing the hindrance of conservative politics on decisive action. Australia's climate policy is not only structurally constrained by its reliance on fossil fuels, but has also been politically constrained by conservatives within the Coalition government since 2015.

Connections of climate change and variability to large and extreme forest fires in southeast Australia

Nerilie J. Abram et al.

Summary: The unprecedented 2019/20 Black Summer bushfire disaster in southeast Australia was mainly caused by extreme dry climate and long-term climate trends leading to increased fire risk. Improving local and national adaptation measures while pursuing ambitious global climate change mitigation efforts are necessary to limit further increases in fire risk in southeast Australia. Multiple climate change contributors have led to an increase in fire extent and intensity over the past decades, and this trend is likely to continue into the future.

Linking disaster risk reduction and human development

Jonathan Raikes et al.

Summary: This study explored government practitioners' views on the integration of disaster risk reduction and human development in the context of floods and droughts in Canada and Australia. Findings indicate a need for broader engagement with local human development systems in disaster risk reduction, including considerations such as poverty, health, climate action, social equity, and human agency. Mechanisms critical to developing integrated approaches include effective legislation, policy frameworks, evidence-based decision-making, and cross-sector collaboration.
