The "most beautiful place" where "it's not possible to live": A qualitative study of relational well-being in an area of climate vulnerability, Bangladesh.

Purpose: Climate change is the greatest global health threat of the 21st century, but little is known about well-being in climate vulnerable populations. We investigate how well-being is shaped by common and unique stressors in an area of climate vulnerability in Bangladesh.

Methods: We present findings from 60 semi-structured in-depth interviews.

Resilience of small-scale marine fishers of Bangladesh against the COVID-19 pandemic and the 65-day fishing ban.

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic-induced nationwide lockdown (March-May) and the conservation-related 65-day fishing ban (May-July) in Bangladesh restricted its small-scale fishing folks from fishing for an unprecedented 130 days. This study assessed the resilience of two small-scale fishing communities in Barguna and Cox's Bazar districts against these subsequent disturbances. The research developed a conceptual framework based on Zurich Flood Resilience Alliance's '5 C-4R Framework', which considers the relationships among a wide range of sources of resilience with livelihood capitals and resilience properties.

Equity in science: advocating for a triple-blind review system.

We propose 'triple-blind review' for peer-reviewed journals - a process that keeps author identities and affiliations blind to manuscript editors until after first appraisal. Blinded appraisal will help to reduce the biases that negatively affect under-represented and minority scientists, ultimately better supporting equity in scientific publishing.
