With the rapid construction and development of cities, aging communities have emerged with problems such as long-standing buildings, poor living environments, uneven distribution of public service facilities, aging infrastructure, and inconvenient transportation. There is an urgent need to conduct assessments based on livable community criteria.This paper, based on the connotation of urban renewal in the new era and targeting the construction of livable communities, analyzes the progress of livable community assessments. Guided by the assessment requirements of urban renewal in Chongqing, China, it employs a combination of literature theory and field investigation, as well as the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), to build an assessment system and a checklist-based renewal strategy for livable communities in Chongqing.Finally, taking the Zhongshutuo Community in Chongqing as an example, the paper conducts a statistical analysis of residents' scoring on the renewal evaluation indicators of the aging community, based on historical data sorting and multiple visits to the current situation. Through the analysis results, it selects a renewal menu and summarizes the renewal strategies suitable for the community, aiming to provide references for the assessment of livable community renewal and the selection of checklist-based strategies.

Unlabelled: The COVID-19 (COVID) pandemic has had a disproportionate impact on people who have low income and identify as Hispanic or Latinx (PLIH) as well as those with criminal Legal Involvement (CLI). These two groups, and their intersection, are often disenfranchised from livable wage employment, basic social services, and healthcare, which are vital to prevent the spread of COVID. We examined baseline data from the Community Network-Driven COVID Testing of Marginalized Population in the Central US (C3) which included 1036 participants: 32.

Exposure to indoor radon presents a significant risk for lung cancer and is also suspected to be associated with other health issues such as chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) and leukemia. This study examined the association between indoor radon exposure and self-reported cases of lung cancer, COPD, and leukemia among individuals living in close proximity to gold mine tailings, a known source of high radon levels. A cross-sectional study was carried out among residents living near or further away from gold mine tailings in Gauteng, South Africa.

The 1994 International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) established sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) as foundational to sustainable development. Thirty years later, advancing women's reproductive rights (WRR), encompassing agency, decision-making autonomy, and universal access to family planning-remains critical not only for health and gender equity but also for mitigating environmental degradation. By reducing unintended pregnancies and empowering women to align childbearing with personal and ecological capacity, WRR alleviates ecological stressors such as deforestation while enhancing health resilience in climate-vulnerable communities.
