Quantifying the impact of heat on human physical work capacity; part II: the observed interaction of air velocity with temperature, humidity, sweat rate, and clothing is not captured by most heat stress indices

Josh Foster et al.

Summary: The impact of increased air movement on alleviating or exacerbating occupational heat strain varies widely depending on air temperature, humidity levels, and clothing worn. Fans are found to be ineffective when air temperature is above 35 degrees Celsius and potentially harmful when relative humidity is below 50%. High wind speeds/fans can be either beneficial or harmful in different climates, with considerations for heat acclimation, age, and wind speed.

Impact of COVID-19 on food insecurity using multiple waves of high frequency household surveys

Shouro Dasgupta et al.

Summary: In response to the rapid spread of COVID-19, governments have implemented local lockdowns leading to increased unemployment and disrupted supply chains, resulting in increased food insecurity. Cash assistance appears to be more effective than food assistance in reducing food insecurity during the pandemic, with particularly affected groups including female-headed households, those with lower education levels, and poorer households.

Institutional Responses to Drought in a High HIV Prevalence Setting in Rural South Africa

Kingsley S. Orievulu et al.

Summary: In 2015, a severe drought in South Africa had a significant impact on economic activities, livelihoods, and public health, particularly in rural communities. This paper examines the devastating effect of the drought on the rural Hlabisa sub-district, an area with a high prevalence of HIV, and emphasizes the need for proactive institutional responses to drought and other climate-related events. The study suggests that inclusive systems of drought-relief implementation, involving collaboration and data sharing among government departments, are necessary to improve preparedness and mitigation measures.

Kelton Minor et al.

Summary: Ambient temperatures are rising worldwide, and this study shows that increased temperature has a causal impact on sleep, primarily through delayed onset. The effect is greater for residents from lower-income countries, older adults, and females. In hotter regions, the sleep loss per degree of warming is more significant. By 2099, suboptimal temperatures may erode 50-58 hours of sleep per person-year, creating geographical inequalities.

Which firms leave multi-stakeholder initiatives? An analysis of delistings from the United Nations Global Compact

Andreas Rasche et al.

Summary: This study analyzes why certain firms leave multi-stakeholder initiatives (MSIs) for corporate social responsibility. The findings suggest that smaller and medium-sized enterprises are more likely to leave MSIs compared to larger and publicly traded firms. Additionally, early adopters are less likely to leave, while the presence of a local network reduces the likelihood of firms leaving MSIs. These findings have important theoretical implications for the output legitimacy of MSIs, the role of organizational platforms in supporting norm entrepreneurs, and the occurrence of legitimacy spillover effects in local networks.

Summary: Climate change is expected to cause significant damages to the entire agricultural supply chain, and this study empirically investigates the impact of warming on agricultural labor supply in rural Uganda through changes in dietary intake. The non-linear effect of warming on agricultural labor supply is found, with an optimal temperature of 21.3 degrees Celsius, and under the RCP8.5 scenario, output per adult is projected to decrease by 20% by the end of the century due to the combined effect of climate change on food consumption and labor supply.

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.

The 2021 report of the MJA-Lancet Countdown on health and climate change: Australia increasingly out on a limb

Paul J. Beggs et al.

Summary: The MJA-Lancet Countdown on health and climate change in Australia has been producing annual updates since 2017, examining indicators across five domains. The findings show that Australians are increasingly exposed and vulnerable to excess heat and other weather extremes, with climate change disproportionately threatening Indigenous Australians. While positive actions are being taken at various levels, national policies are undermining these efforts.
