Article Abstract

Strong evidence shows that exposure and engagement with the natural world not only improve human wellbeing but can also help promote environmentally friendly behaviors. Human-nature relationships are at the heart of global agendas promoted by international organizations including the World Health Organization's (WHO) "One Health" and the United Nations (UN) "Ocean Decade." These agendas demand collaborative multisector interdisciplinary efforts at local, national, and global levels. However, while global agendas highlight global goals for a sustainable world, developing science that directly addresses these agendas from design through to delivery and outputs does not come without its challenges. In this article, we present the outcomes of international meetings between researchers, stakeholders, and policymakers from the United Kingdom and Brazil. We propose a model for interdisciplinary work under such global agendas, particularly the interface between One Health and the UN Ocean Decade and identify three priority research areas closely linked to each other: human-nature connection, conservation-human behavior, and implementation strategies (bringing stakeholders together). We also discuss a number of recommendations for moving forward.

Globally rising cases of malaria have prompted concentrated efforts to control malaria transmission, utilising various mathematical models to support the Roll Back Malaria agenda. Many existing models with their specific modifications exhibit rigidity, limiting their application to inform malaria control interventions. This study addresses this limitation by employing a reduction technique on a comprehensive malaria control model to derive a simplified system that preserves the essential dynamics of the original system.

World Health Assembly resolutions have recently placed emphasis on emergency, critical and operative care to achieve universal health coverage. This will require a move away from vertical health programmes and a stronger emphasis on health systems strengthening, including data systems. There has also been an increased recognition of the need for data to advance the global surgery agenda.

Background: Since 2021, Afghanistan has faced a worsening humanitarian crisis that disproportionately impacts Afghan women and children. They experience inequities in healthcare access, deterioration of healthcare quality and extreme food insecurity. This study aims to fill an important gap by providing consensus on research priorities for maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH), sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and nutrition in Afghanistan.
