 <title> WHO expert panel paves way for strong international governance on human genome editing</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41922&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>The World Health Organization’s new advisory committee on developing global standards for governance and oversight of human genome editing has agreed to work towards a strong international governance framework in this area. oeGene editing holds incredible promise for health, but it also poses some risks, both ethically and medically. This committee is a perfect example of WHO’s leadership, by bringing together some of the world’s leading experts to provide guidance on this complex issue. I am grateful to each member of the Expert Advisory Committee for their time and expertise.” says Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General.</description>

 <title> 3 in 5 babies not breastfed in the first hour of life
</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41899&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>An estimated 78 million babies " or three in five " are not breastfed within the first hour of life, putting them at higher risk of death and disease and making them less likely to continue breastfeeding, say UNICEF and WHO in a new report. Most of these babies are born in low- and middle-income countries.

 <title> The two best ways to reduce infant mortality</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41862&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>One of the more ambitious targets of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is the commitment to end preventable deaths of newborns and children over the next decade. If this target is met, by 2030 no country will have a neonatal mortality rate above 12 deaths per 1,000 births " a quarter of the current rate in parts of Sub-Saharan Africa.
Given the magnitude of the challenge, huge investments will be needed in health-care infrastructure and planning. Perhaps the most effective way to reduce infant mortality would be to encourage uptake of two readily available resources: maternal vaccinations and breast milk.</description>

 <title> The promise of inclusive education</title>

 <description>The international community has until 2030 to deliver primary education to every child on the planet. But if this target is to be met, more money will be needed to support children with disabilities in developing countries, a vulnerable population that is too often excluded from the classroom.
Ali Moussa and Mahmoud are sixth graders in Zanzibar. Both boys are nearly blind and use recording devices and braille machines to read. But, thanks to their school and teacher, they are able to keep pace with their peers in the mainstream primary school that they attend.</description>

 <title> Why smart policies are key to solving the world’s clean water problems</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41828&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Around 2.5 to 3 billion people worldwide don’t have access to clean water. There are at least another 1.5 billion in developed countries who may have access to clean water but don’t trust its quality.
A number of widely publicised events about unreliable water services in countries have added to this mistrust. Seventeen years ago Walkerton in Canada had the country’s worst e.coli contamination of domestic water supply. It resulted in seven deaths and 2300 illnesses.</description>

 <title> Family Planning is a human right</title>

 <description>It has been five decades since the international community affirmed the right to family planning but women still remain unable to enjoy this right, which is increasingly under attack around the world. [...]
oeFamily planning is not only a matter of human rights; it is also central to women’s empowerment, reducing poverty, and achieving sustainable development,” said UNFPA’s Executive Director Natalia Kanem.</description>

 <title> Humans are to blame for the rise in dangerous viral infections</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41760&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Today, we hear about dangerous viral infections around the world on a regular basis. Social media and internet access may be an obvious explanation for their seeming increase.
But it doesn’t just seem this way. The number of viruses and the infections they cause are truly increasing. Scientific advances, the way humans live today and virus biology all contribute to the rise of viruses.</description>

 <title> Even where abortion is legal, access is not granted</title>

 <description>In several European countries though abortion laws are not necessary when the lack of available gynecologists makes it almost impossible for women to access abortion.
Ireland will hold a referendum on 25 May, asking voters whether they want or not to repeal the so-called Eight amendment to the Irish Constitution, guaranteeing the equal right to life of the unborn and the mother, and prohibiting abortion in almost all cases, making it one of the world’s toughest abortion laws in the world.</description>

 <title> Misuse of opioids such as tramadol and fentanyl is 'global epidemic', report finds</title>
 <link>http://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2018/jun/27/misuse-opioids-tramadol-fentanyl-global-epidemic</link>
 <description>The misuse of pharmaceutical opioids is fast becoming a oeglobal epidemic”, with the largest quantities being seized in African countries for the second year in a row, according to a UN report.
While huge attention has been paid to the opioid crisis in the US " where the misuse of prescription drugs like fentanyl dominates " figures released by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime has revealed seizures in Africa of opioids now account for 87% of the global total.</description>

 <title> Remote village to metropolis: how globalisation spreads infectious diseases</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41731&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>These days we can get from most remote villages anywhere to home in 36 hours. And migrating humans can certainly carry microbial oepassengers”. This means the increasing globalisation of our world can give infectious diseases a good opportunity to spread. In the age of exploration, introduced infections played a major role in shaping human history. Although the origins of the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic are hotly debated, the timing of its onset in Europe coincided with mass troop movements towards the end of the first world war. It probably came with American troops from Camp Funston in Kansas.

 <title> Kids with albinism belong at home and in school</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41686&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>In many parts of East Africa, people with albinism are targeted for their body parts, which some believe hold magical powers and bring good fortune. Over the last decade, Under the Same Sun, a Canadian group working with people with albinism, estimates that over 200 people with albinism, many of them children, have been killed in Africa or had their body parts amputated. They say at least 75 people with albinism have been killed in Tanzania since 2006. Faced with increased international scrutiny, Tanzania began to mobilize resources to fight off traffickers and protect people with albinism.

 <title> Australia: Healthcare rollbacks put refugee lives and health at risk</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41619&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>The Australian government is attempting to walk away from the human rights crisis it has created for refugees and asylum seekers in Papua New Guinea (PNG) by winding back critical healthcare services, despite the ongoing plight of the people trapped in its offshore detention centres, Amnesty International said today.
Over the past six months the Australian government has terminated trauma and counselling services for refugees and asylum seekers in PNG, and moved refugees to new detention centres where they have reduced access to healthcare.

 <title> The ABCs of NCD Care</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41616&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Achieving global health security certainly requires managing headline-grabbing infectious diseases such as Ebola, the Zika virus, and others that have not even appeared yet. But it also requires a deeper commitment to systems of long-term preventive care and management of chronic noncommunicable diseases like diabetes.
The World Health Organization recently began sounding the alarm about a deadly new pathogen called Disease X. In fact, Disease X does not actually exist, at least not yet. Rather, it is part of a clever public-awareness campaign by the WHO to prepare people and governments for the threat posed by new infectious diseases.</description>

 <title> The incredibly shrinking Italian population: By 2080, Italians will be a minority in their own country</title>
 <link>http://gefira.org/en/2018/01/18/the-incredibly-shrinking-italian-population-by-2080-italians-will-be-a-minority-in-their-own-country/</link>
 <description>Though the official data shows that Italy’s population was growing until 2015 and according to a Eurostat projection it will stabilize within the next decades, the number of indigenous citizens is shrinking with an astonishing pace: every year by a quarter of a million, and this decline will accelerate. That means that the projected demographic growth can only be achieved by mass migration from Africa and Central Asia. Currently most migrants in Italy are from Romania but that number is declining rapidly. There will be less and less migration from other European countries because all European nations are in a dramatic demographic decline and because due to the prolonged Italian economic crisis the country is not a prime destination for people from other European states.</description>

 <description>Air pollution levels remain dangerously high in many parts of the world. New data from WHO shows that 9 out of 10 people breathe air containing high levels of pollutants. Updated estimations reveal an alarming death toll of 7 million people every year caused by ambient (outdoor) and household air pollution.</description>

 <title> As a recovering alcoholic, I welcome minimum booze pricing in Scotland </title>

 <description>Nothing fires up we Scots quite like someone threatening to lengthen our life expectancy. And now, thanks to legislation that puts a floor on the price of alcohol, many of us have a reason to get upset.
On Tuesday, Scotland became the first country in the world to introduce a minimum price on alcohol. After six years of public debate (and legal challenges from our benevolent drinks lobby), the new legislation finally came into effect. Unsurprisingly, it has divided opinion.</description>

 <description>On an otherwise unadorned table at an event space overlooking Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour, glass bowls displayed the constituent parts of the Impossible Burger. One contained a B-vitamin-laced potato protein paste, another wheat protein, a third a globule of coconut oil. In a fourth, shimmering crimson under the ceiling lights, was the secret sauce: heme (or haem), a component of many proteins, including hemoglobin " the pigment that gives blood its color. It’s also found in the roots of the soybean plant, which is where Impossible Foods extracts it from.</description>

 <description>Kate Leahy used to work as cabin crew, until she was signed off sick. Then a young colleague died in 2014. She talks to the former staff looking for answers.
Three years ago, Matt Bass, 34, died suddenly in his sleep. According to his father, Charlie, he had been feeling unwell for a few months. He’d lost weight, had digestive and respiratory problems, and suffered from severe fatigue. Doctors thought he might have Crohn’s disease, but were struggling to reach a diagnosis.</description>

 <title> Zimbabwe: Tobacco Work Harming Children</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41501&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Children and adults who work on Zimbabwe’s tobacco farms are facing serious risks to their health as well as labor abuses, (...). Child labor and other human rights abuses on tobacco farms in Zimbabwe tarnish the tobacco industry’s contributions to the country’s economic growth and improved livelihoods.
The 105-page report, oeA Bitter Harvest: Child Labor and Human Rights Abuses on Tobacco Farms in Zimbabwe,” documents how children work in hazardous conditions, performing tasks that threaten their health and safety or interfere with their education. Child workers are exposed to nicotine and toxic pesticides, and many suffer symptoms consistent with nicotine poisoning from handling tobacco leaves. Adults working on tobacco farms in Zimbabwe also face serious health risks and labor abuses.</description>

 <description>In South Africa there is a word they use to describe what connects people who might otherwise be separated through their differences. Ubuntu. "I am what I am because of who we all are," according to Nobel Peace Prize winner and Liberian activist Leymah Gbowee.
Caster Semenya calls it "humanity", the love of her country. It may well have saved her through almost a decade of being treated as a suspicious curiosity in world athletics.
"My country have given me love, courage, respect, recognition and appreciated me for who I am," Semenya told Fairfax Media. "That’s for free, we call it humanity (Ubuntu). I couldn't have asked for more."</description>

 <title> Nigeria: Amnesty activists uncover serious negligence by oil giants Shell and Eni</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41463&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>A groundbreaking research project by Amnesty International has exposed evidence of serious negligence by oil giants Shell and Eni, whose irresponsible approach to oil spills in the Niger Delta is exacerbating an environmental crisis. 
Through the Decoders network, an innovative platform developed by Amnesty International to crowdsource human rights research, the organization enlisted thousands of supporters and activists to collect data about oil spills in the Niger Delta. Their findings were then analyzed by Amnesty International’s researchers and verified by Accufacts, an independent pipelines expert.</description>

Yes, bacon really is killing </title>
 <link>http://www.theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/01/bacon-cancer-processed-meats-nitrates-nitrites-sausages</link>
 <description>Decades’ worth of research proves that chemicals used to make bacon do cause cancer. So how did the meat industry convince us it was safe? By Bee Wilson

There was a little cafe I used to go to that did the best bacon sandwiches. They came in a soft and pillowy white bap. The bacon, thick-cut from a local butcher, was midway between crispy and chewy. Ketchup and HP sauce were served in miniature jars with the sandwich, so you could dab on the exact amount you liked. That was all there was to it: just bread and bacon and sauce. Eating one of these sandwiches, as I did every few weeks, with a cup of strong coffee, felt like an uncomplicated pleasure.</description>

 <title> Growing inequalities in European pension schemes</title>

 <title> Levels and Trends in Child Mortality</title>
 <link>http://www.unicef.org/french/media/media_101066.html</link>
 <description>Over the past 25 years, the world has made significant progress in saving young children’s lives. The rate of child mortality fell 62 per cent from 1990"2016, with under-five deaths dropping from 12.7 million to 5.6 million.

But this progress has not been universal.

A new report from UNICEF and its partners in the Inter-Agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation (IGME), Levels and Trends in Child Mortality: Report 2017, shows the full scope of child and newborn mortality across the world. In addition to global estimates for under-five, infant and newborn mortality, the report for the first time contains estimates on mortality among children aged 5-14.</description>

European citizens annually lose 50 million years of healthy life due to environmental risks, corresponding to at least 15 per cent of Europe's total deaths " around half of which are due to outdoor and indoor air pollution. </description>

 <title> Survival of HIV-positive patients starting antiretroviral therapy between 1996 and 2013: a collaborative analysis of cohort studies</title>
 <link>http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanhiv/article/PIIS2352-3018(17)30066-8/fulltext</link>
 <description>For 20 years, combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) has been the standard approach to treating HIV-1 infection in Europe and North America. The first ART regimens were inferior to those currently available, which better suppress HIV replication, are less toxic, and have higher genetic barriers to resistance, reduced pill burden (often one a day), and fewer side-effects.1, 2 Other improvements in health care since 1996 for people living with HIV include treatment and prophylaxis for opportunistic infections and management of comorbidities.3 Improvements in intensive care management, disease screening, and health promotion might also have improved prognosis. Therefore, people living with HIV who started ART more recently might have improved survival compared with those treated earlier in the ART era.</description>

 <title> What will healthcare look like in 2030?</title>
 <link>http://www.weforum.org/agenda/2017/04/what-will-healthcare-look-like-in-2030</link>
 <description>What current trends are most significant?
So many novel therapies are being developed, this is the most exciting time in history to be practicing medicine " but the problem is that these new therapies are not yet necessarily translating into better outcomes, because we don’t have the real-world data that would allow us to stratify patients, help them understand their options and give them a roadmap for their treatment.
In my own field, oncology, some studies suggest that about a third of everything we spend is either completely useless or does nothing more than extend a poor quality of life by a few months. We’re seeing new drugs approved that may be extremely effective for a subset of patients, but that are known not to work at all in some 30 to 70% of cases. Obviously, that means there’s huge potential to waste resources and patients’ time if we don’t get the diagnostics right.

 <title> The cost of a polluted environment:
1.7 million child deaths a year</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=40968&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>More than 1 in 4 deaths of children under 5 years of age are attributable to unhealthy environments. Every year, environmental risks " such as indoor and outdoor air pollution, second-hand smoke, unsafe water, lack of sanitation, and inadequate hygiene " take the lives of 1.7 million children under 5 years, say two new WHO reports.

"A polluted environment is a deadly one " particularly for young children," says Dr Margaret Chan, WHO Director-General. "Their developing organs and immune systems, and smaller bodies and airways, make them especially vulnerable to dirty air and water."</description>

 <title> Famine hits parts of South Sudan</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=40919&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>War and a collapsing economy have left some 100,000 people facing starvation in parts of South Sudan where famine was declared today, three UN agencies warned. A further 1 million people are classified as being on the brink of famine. [...]

The total number of food insecure people is expected to rise to 5.5 million at the height of the lean season in July if nothing is done to curb the severity and spread of the food crisis.

 <title> The Female Resistance</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=40883&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Antagonism is mounting between today’s right-wing populists and a somewhat unexpected but formidable opponent: women. In the United States, much like in Poland, women’s rights have been among the first targets of attack by populist leaders. Women are not taking it lying down.
The question now is whether women can win the battle against the populists. While the answer is not yet clear, they do have a few powerful weapons in their arsenal.
For starters, women are more numerous than any other single social group, including blacks, Latinos, the left, the right, liberals, conservatives, Catholics, and Protestants. There are more women than there are white men in the US " or in Poland, for that matter. And, most important, women far outnumber populists. (Women must fight for their rights as if they were a minority, though they are a majority, and as if they lacked human capital, though, in the West, they tend to be better educated than men.)
Moreover, women are everywhere, and discrimination, to varying degrees, is part of all women’s experiences. This makes women something of a revolutionary class, in the Marxist sense.It also makes it relatively easy for women to build solidarity.</description>

 <title> The Struggle to End Female Genital Mutilation in Africa</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=40864&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Aja Babung Sidibeh, for example, was a female genital mutilator on her native island of Janjanbureh in the Gambia. Today, she is actively involved in the fight against the practice of genital mutilation. In April 2014, she told the Standard Newspaper:

"If I had previously known what I know today, I would never have circumcised a single woman. We have caused much suffering to many daughters and wives. That's why I said if my grandparents had known what I know today, they never would have circumcised any women. Ignorance is the main issue."</description>

 <title> The End of AIDS</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=40620&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>The key reason that the epidemic can be ended is a scientific finding back in 2011 that showed that HIV-positive individuals receiving antiretroviral (ARV) treatment suppress the HIV virus in their bloodstreams so dramatically that they are very unlikely to transmit the virus to others through sex or shared needles. This finding confirmed the concept of oetreatment as prevention.” If a high enough proportion of HIV-positive individuals receive ARV treatment, it is possible not only to save their lives, but also to break the transmission of the virus itself, thereby ending the epidemic.
Building on this idea, AIDS specialists developed two crucial ideas: oe90-90-90” and the oecascade of AIDS care.” The 90-90-90 program aims to ensure that by the year 2020, 90% of all HIV-infected individuals know that they are infected (the first 90); 90% of all those who know they are infected are receiving ARV treatment (the second 90); and 90% of all those receiving ARV treatment successfully suppress the HIV virus in the blood. The idea of the cascade is that if each of the three oe90s” is achieved, the proportion of all HIV-infected individuals with viral suppression would be 90% x 90% x 90%, which is equal to 72%. </description>

 <title> As Delhi chokes</title>
 <link>http://correspondent.afp.com/delhi-chokes</link>
 <description>For weeks now, a gray fog has enveloped the capital of India. The smog is so intense on some mornings that you can almost touch it. Buildings disappear. Invisible cars speed through invisible streets. The smog seeps into homes through doors and windows. There is palpably less oxygen. You need to take deep breaths. Outside, the smell of something burning hits the nostrils. You get headaches. The eyes itch.</description>

 <title> The Economic Consequences of Outdoor Air Pollution</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=40374&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>This report provides a comprehensive assessment of the economic consequences of outdoor air pollution in the coming decades, focusing on the impacts on mortality, morbidity, and changes in crop yields as caused by high concentrations of pollutants. Unless more stringent policies are adopted, findings point to a significant increase in global emissions and concentrations of air pollutants, with severe impacts on human health and the environment. The market impacts of outdoor air pollution are projected to lead to significant economic costs, which are illustrated at the regional and sectoral levels, and to substantial annual global welfare costs.</description>

 <title> Experience, rigour, determination: How Sri Lanka eradicated malaria</title>
 <link>http://indianexpress.com/article/explained/how-sri-lanka-eradicated-malaria-health-system-who-3026438/</link>
 <description>The World Health Organisation (WHO) declared Sri Lanka malaria-free last week. Victory over the disease came after more than seven decades, during which the country also went through a crippling civil war. The long years of accumulated technical experience was bolstered by a solid public health system that provided an efficient network of reporting, information-gathering and surveillance, and almost full literacy, which made it easier for health workers to educate and mobilise the 22 million population against the disease.</description>

 <title> Air Pollution’s True Costs</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=40191&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Air pollution takes years off people’s lives. It causes substantial pain and suffering, among adults and children alike. And it damages food production, at a time when we need to feed more people than ever. This is not just an economic issue; it is a moral one. [...] Cleaner technologies are available, with the potential to improve air quality considerably. But policymakers tend to focus myopically on the costs of action, rather than the costs of inaction.</description>

 <title> Mission: Save the Environment</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=40067&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Picture this. It is 1966. You are standing in a government office in Washington, DC, watching a uniformed official tell a man in business attire, oeYour mission is to eradicate an enemy that has killed more people than both world wars combined. You will have a paltry budget, a small team, and should you fail, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions.”
It sounds like a scene from a Hollywood movie. And, indeed, it mirrors the opening scenes of the Mission: Impossible television series that premiered that year. But it really happened, if not in precisely those words. The official was Assistant Surgeon General James Watt; the man with the mission was Communicable Disease Center (CDC) scientist Donald Henderson; and the enemy was smallpox. </description>

 <title> Life expectancy increased by 5 years since 2000, but health inequalities persist</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=39974&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Dramatic gains in life expectancy have been made globally since 2000, but major inequalities persist within and among countries, according to this year’s oeWorld Health Statistics: Monitoring Health for the SDGs”.
Life expectancy increased by 5 years between 2000 and 2015, the fastest increase since the 1960s. Those gains reverse declines during the 1990s, when life expectancy fell in Africa because of the AIDS epidemic and in Eastern Europe following the collapse of the Soviet Union. The increase was greatest in the African Region of WHO where life expectancy increased by 9.4 years to 60 years, driven mainly by improvements in child survival, progress in malaria control and expanded access to antiretrovirals for treatment of HIV.</description>

 <description>The 1986 Chernobyl and 2011 Fukushima nuclear power plant accidents both share the notorious distinction of attaining the highest accident rating on the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) scale of nuclear accidents. No other reactor incident has ever received this Level 7 oemajor accident” designation in the history of nuclear power. Chernobyl and Fukushima earned it because both involved core meltdowns that released significant amounts of radioactivity to their surroundings.</description>

 <title> Zika and Reproductive Rights</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=39240&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Latin America’s abortion laws are among the world’s most restrictive. El Salvador, for example, bans abortion in all circumstances and has incarcerated women who have gone to emergency rooms after miscarriages, charging them with seeking illegal abortions. Contraception can also be expensive or difficult to access across the region, despite high rates of teenage rape and pregnancy. The result, especially with the addition of the Zika virus, is a recipe for tragedy.
Brazil, the Latin American country hit hardest by the virus so far, is emblematic of the problem: Abortion is allowed only in cases of rape, danger to the woman’s life, or in the case of fetal anencephaly (the absence of a major portion of the brain). In response to the Zika crisis, Brazil should immediately allow abortion in cases of suspected microcephaly as well.

 <title> Will climate change = more disease?</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=39239&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Scientists estimate that almost 75 percent of new (and re-emerging) diseases affecting humans at the beginning of the 21st Century were transmitted through animals. Among these so-called oezoonotic” diseases are AIDS, SARS, H5N2 avian flu and H1N1, or swine flu. 
Barbara Han, from the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, describes bats, pigs, and birds as oemixing vats” for viruses like Ebola, Hendra, Nipah, avian and swine flus that can spread to humans. As wild animals lose their habitats through deforestation, they come into closer contact with domestic animals and people. Extreme weather events and a warmer climate are also disrupting animal habitats, breeding cycles, and migration patterns. </description>

 <title> Despite Stay, America’s Economy and Climate Need the Clean Power Plan</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=39226&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Yesterday, the U.S. Supreme Court paused implementation of the Clean Power Plan (CPP) to allow an appeals court to consider a legal challenge from a number of states, corporations and industry groups. That case is being expedited, and a decision is expected by the fall.
Importantly, the Supreme Court’s decision to grant a temporary stay was not based on the legal merits of the CPP, which calls for emissions reductions throughout states’ power sectors. Experts agree that the CPP is on solid legal ground and will prevail. Indeed, previously the Supreme Court not only upheld the EPA’s authority to regulate carbon pollution under the Clean Air Act (which the Clean Power Plan builds upon), the Court found the agency had the obligation to do so to protect Americans’ health.</description>

 <description>The Commission on Ending Childhood Obesity (ECHO) presented its final report to the WHO Director-General today, culminating a two-year process to address the alarming levels of childhood obesity and overweight globally.
The ECHO report proposes a range of recommendations for governments aimed at reversing the rising trend of children aged under 5 years becoming overweight and obese. At least 41 million children in this age group are obese or overweight, with the greatest rise in the number of children being obese or overweight coming from low- and middle-income countries.</description>

 <title> Microcephaly Revives Battle for Legal Abortion in Brazil</title>

 <description>The Zika virus epidemic and a rise in the number of cases of microcephaly in newborns have revived the debate on legalising abortion in Brazil. However, the timing is difficult as conservative and religious groups are growing in strength, especially in parliament.
In Brazil, a 1940 law makes abortion illegal with two exceptions: when it is necessary to save the mother’s life or if the pregnancy is the result of rape.
A third exception, in cases of anencephalic fetuses -which have no brain " was legalised in 2012 as the result of a Supreme Court ruling based on the fact that they cannot survive outside the womb.</description>

 <description>Faced with a global shortage of oral cholera vaccines (OCV), the United Nations health agency announced today that supply should double this year to six million doses, with further increases later, after it approved a third producer to fight a disease that kills up to 142,000 people annually.
Last year, Sudan and Haiti asked the UN World Health Organization (WHO) for supplies to conduct pre-emptive vaccination campaigns, but the requests could not be filled because of the global shortfall.

 <title> Violence against women</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=39018&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>The United Nations defines violence against women as "any act of gender-based violence that results in, or is likely to result in, physical, sexual or mental harm or suffering to women, including threats of such acts, coercion or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether occurring in public or in private life."
• Violence against women - particularly intimate partner violence and sexual violence - are major public health problems and violations of women's human rights.
• Recent global prevalence figures indicate that about 1 in 3 (35%) of women worldwide have experienced either physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence or non-partner sexual violence in their lifetime.
• Most of this violence is intimate partner violence. Worldwide, almost one third (30%) of women who have been in a relationship report that they have experienced some form of physical and/or sexual violence by their intimate partner.
• Globally, as many as 38% of murders of women are committed by an intimate partner.
• Violence can negatively affect women’s physical, mental, sexual and reproductive health, and may increase vulnerability to HIV.</description>

• The right to health includes access to timely, acceptable, and affordable health care of appropriate quality.
• Yet, about 100 million people globally are pushed below the poverty line as a result of health care expenditure ever year.
• Vulnerable and marginalized groups in societies tend to bear an undue proportion of health problems.

 <description>The fight against tuberculosis is paying off, with this year’s death rate nearly half of what it was in 1990. Nevertheless, 1.5 million people died from TB in 2014. Most of these deaths could have been prevented, according to WHO’s Global tuberculosis report 2015, which was released today in Washington.
To reduce TB’s overall burden, detection and treatment gaps need to be closed, funding shortfalls filled and new diagnostics, drugs and vaccines developed, according to the report.</description>

 <title> New report identifies four ways to reduce health risks from climate pollutants</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38669&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>A new WHO report highlights the urgent need to reduce emissions of black carbon, ozone and methane - as well as carbon dioxide " which all contribute to climate change. Black carbon, ozone and methane " frequently described as short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) - not only produce a strong global warming effect, they contribute significantly to the more than 7 million premature deaths annually linked to air pollution.
The report, Reducing global health risks through mitigation of short-lived climate pollutants, produced in collaboration with the Climate and Clean Air Coalition to Reduce Short-Lived Climate Pollutants, reveals that interventions to cut SLCPs can reduce disease and death and contribute to food security, improve diets and increase physical activity.</description>

 <title> Climate change and health</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38623&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>• Climate change affects the social and environmental determinants of health " clean air, safe drinking water, sufficient food and secure shelter.
• Between 2030 and 2050, climate change is expected to cause approximately 250 000 additional deaths per year, from malnutrition, malaria, diarrhoea and heat stress.
• The direct damage costs to health (i.e. excluding costs in health-determining sectors such as agriculture and water and sanitation), is estimated to be between US$ 2-4 billion/year by 2030.
• Areas with weak health infrastructure " mostly in developing countries " will be the least able to cope without assistance to prepare and respond.
• Reducing emissions of greenhouse gases through better transport, food and energy-use choices can result in improved health, particularly through reduced air pollution.</description>

 <description>The European Transport Forum opens on Tuesday (29 September) after a week dominated by headlines over the Volkswagen scandal.
The revelations that Volkswagen, the world's second largest car manufacturer, had routinely gamed US emissions testing has thrown the spotlight on the environmental and health impact of cars.
While EU member states, such as the UK, open or consider investigations into the beleaguered company, European Commission officials are currently reviewing the executive’s 2011 White Paper for transport, its main policy roadmap for the sector.
Bringing extra impetus to their deliberation is the upcoming UN Climate Change Conference in Paris, international talks aimed at capping global warming.

 <title> Dying to Live</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38561&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Determined to save Mariama’s life, I told her mother to go home and announce the death of her daughter. I knew this would provoke the sympathy of her relatives, and they would scrape together their meager resources to ensure a proper funeral. The mother agreed, and when she returned six hours later, she threw enough money on the table to cover all of Mariama’s care: a blood transfusion and treatment for malaria and worm infestation. A few days later, I discharged the still weak but recovering four-year-old from the hospital.
Though Mariama’s illness did not move her relatives to action, her death did. The same thing happened, on a much larger scale, during the Ebola epidemic in West Africa.</description>

 <title> Vaccine hesitancy: A growing challenge for immunization programmes</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38520&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>People who delay or refuse vaccines for themselves or their children are presenting a growing challenge for countries seeking to close the immunization gap. Globally, 1 in 5 children still do not receive routine life-saving immunizations, and an estimated 1.5 million children still die each year of diseases that could be prevented by vaccines that already exist, according to WHO.
In a special issue of the journal Vaccine, guest-edited by WHO and published today, experts review the role of vaccine hesitancy in limiting vaccine coverage and explore strategies to address it. Vaccine hesitancy refers to delay in acceptance or refusal of safe vaccines despite availability of vaccination services.</description>

 <title> New report shows that 400 million do not have access to essential health services</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38425&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>A WHO and World Bank Group report launched today shows that 400 million people do not have access to essential health services and 6% of people in low- and middle-income countries are tipped into or pushed further into extreme poverty because of health spending. "This report is a wakeup call: It shows that we’re a long way from achieving universal health coverage. We must expand access to health and protect the poorest from health expenses that are causing them severe financial hardship," says Dr Tim Evans, Senior Director of Health, Nutrition and Population at the World Bank Group.</description>

 <title> WHO calls for increase in voluntary blood donors to save millions of lives</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38395&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>On World Blood Donor Day, 14 June, the WHO is calling for increased regular blood donations from voluntary, unpaid donors in order to save millions of lives globally each year. The theme of this year’s campaign is oeThank you for saving my life”. It encourages donors all over the world to donate blood voluntarily and regularly with the slogan oeGive freely, give often. Blood donation matters.” oeThe best way to guarantee a safe and adequate supply of blood and blood products for transfusion is to have a good supply of regular donations by voluntary unpaid blood donors,” says Dr Margaret Chan, WHO Director-General. oeWHO encourages all Member States to obtain all their blood supplies from such donors.”</description>

 <title> Global vaccination targets ‘off-track’ warns WHO</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38270&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Progress towards global vaccination targets for 2015 is far off-track with 1 in 5 children still missing out on routine life-saving immunizations that could avert 1.5 million deaths each year from preventable diseases. In the lead-up to World Immunization Week 2015 (24"30 April), WHO is calling for renewed efforts to get progress back on course.
oeWorld Immunization Week creates a focused global platform to reinvigorate our collective efforts to ensure vaccination for every child, whoever they are and wherever they live,” said Dr Flavia Bustreo, WHO Assistant Director-General, Family, Women's and Children's Health. oeIt is critical that the global community now makes a collective and cohesive effort to put progress towards our six targets back on track.”</description>

 <description>Europe and especially Germany has just witnessed one of the worst catastrophes of aviation, the crash of the Germanwings plane in the french Alps. The picture that is emerging is that the co-pilot of the plane was suffering from a psychiatric disorder and that he might have taken psychiatric drugs.
While a lot is now being debated about necessary precautions to be taken by airlines, I want to point to a few issues concerning the situation of all of us. </description>

 <description>Many of us are terrified by the prospect of having a debilitating stroke or a fatal heart attack. Few of us, however, respond as emotionally to the threat of chronic disease, a vague and elastic term that is mainly useful for organizing health services. And yet chronic disease has become a major social problem that requires a collective response.

 <title> WHO calls on countries to reduce sugars intake among adults and children</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38114&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>A new WHO guideline recommends adults and children reduce their daily intake of free sugars to less than 10% of their total energy intake. A further reduction to below 5% or roughly 25 grams (6 teaspoons) per day would provide additional health benefits. Free sugars refer to monosaccharides (such as glucose, fructose) and disaccharides (such as sucrose or table sugar) added to foods and drinks by the manufacturer, cook or consumer, and sugars naturally present in honey, syrups, fruit juices and fruit juice concentrates.</description>

 <title> 1.1 billion people at risk of hearing loss</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38089&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Some 1.1 billion teenagers and young adults are at risk of hearing loss due to the unsafe use of personal audio devices, including smartphones, and exposure to damaging levels of sound at noisy entertainment venues such as nightclubs, bars and sporting events, according to WHO. Hearing loss has potentially devastating consequences for physical and mental health, education and employment. Data from studies in middle- and high-income countries analysed by WHO indicate that among teenagers and young adults aged 12-35 years, nearly 50% are exposed to unsafe levels of sound from the use of personal audio devices and around 40% are exposed to potentially damaging levels of sound at entertainment venues.</description>

 <title> Clean Air and Healthy Lungs: How to Better Tackle Air Pollution</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38044&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>When you hear about deadly air pollution, your mind is likely to turn to smog filled cityscapes and congested highways. Cities in India and China have become iconic for air pollution challenges and the health impacts they bring. But city-dwellers in India and China are not the only ones facing worrying levels of air pollution. From Senegal to Peru, millions of people breathe polluted air every day, suffering a range of health implications. In 2012, an estimated 3.7 million people died from diseases brought on by breathing polluted air. And air pollution is not limited to big cities. Add to that pollution from household sources like cook stoves and heating, and that number goes up to about 7 million, according to the World Health Organization. The impact of pollution is felt across families, cities and societies in terms of health costs, impaired quality of life, lost productivity and missed economic opportunities.</description>

 <description>Air pollution damages the heart. According to an expert position paper published in the European Heart Journal, many types of cardiovascular disease are linked to poor air quality. Responsible for 400,000 deaths each year globally, air pollution has yet to be sufficiently addressed by the world's governments, researchers have warned. Not only does air pollution exacerbate existing heart problems, but it also appears to play a role in the development of heart disease in otherwise healthy people. There is particularly strong evidence of the harmful effects of suspended particles, as opposed to gas pollution, they said.</description>

 <title> New study highlights need to scale up violence prevention efforts globally</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=37857&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>The "Global status report on violence prevention 2014" reveals that 475 000 people were murdered in 2012, and homicide is the third leading cause of death globally for males aged 15"44 years, highlighting the urgent need for more decisive action to prevent violence. Despite indications that homicide rates decreased by 16% globally between 2000 and 2012, violence remains widespread. Non-fatal acts of violence take a particular toll on women and children. One in four children has been physically abused; one in five girls has been sexually abused; and one in three women has been a victim of physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence at some point in her lifetime.

 <title> Peru / Indigenous peoples: “New oil project threatens further harm for human rights victims” – UN experts warn</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=37839&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>The proposed re-licensing of heavily polluted land in the Department of Loreto region of Peru would perpetuate and exacerbate serious violations of human rights of indigenous peoples, including their right to health, food and water, two United Nations experts on indigenous peoples and toxic waste have said. The UN human rights experts’ warning comes after the Peruvian Government’s decision to start licensing block 192 (formerly 1 AB) on 15 December 2014, despite a signed agreement between the State-owned oil company Petroperu and indigenous communities to clean up land and water heavily polluted by 44 years of oil spills.</description>

 <description>The year 2014 has been one of horror, fear and despair for millions of children, as worsening conflicts across the world saw them exposed to extreme violence and its consequences, forcibly recruited and deliberately targeted by warring groups, UNICEF said. oeThis has been a devastating year for millions of children,” said Anthony Lake, UNICEF Executive Director. oeChildren have been killed while studying in the classroom and while sleeping in their beds; they have been orphaned, kidnapped, tortured, recruited, raped and even sold as slaves. Never in recent memory have so many children been subjected to such unspeakable brutality.”</description>

 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=37800&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>An ILO study shows that 80 per cent of the population across 44 countries are without any health protection and are therefore deprived of the right to health. These countries include Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Guinea and Sierra Leone. Globally, some 40 per cent of the population is excluded from social protection in health. The study oeAddressing the Global Health Crisis: Universal Health Protection Policies ” says that similar major gaps also exist in Asia. In India, for example, more than 80 per cent of people lack health protection coverage.</description>

 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=37702&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Global efforts to provide improved water and sanitation for all are gaining momentum, but serious gaps in funding continue to hamper progress, according to a new report from WHO on behalf of UN-Water. The UN-Water Global Analysis and Assessment of Sanitation and Drinking-Water (GLAAS 2014), published biannually, presents data from 94 countries and 23 external support agencies. It offers a comprehensive analysis of strengths and challenges in water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) provision within and across countries.</description>

 <title> The Ongoing Propaganda War Behind GMOs Exposed</title>

 <description>The United States has been paying farmers for over two decades to NOT produce food, yet biotech would have us believe that genetically modified organisms are necessary to feed the world. This is but one of the many lies they have perpetrated, all the while hiding the real truth behind GM crops. Genetically modified organisms and the chemicals which support their growth are just an outcropping of the military industrial complex and the war industry.</description>

 <title> Poverty and Poor Health in Pakistan: Exploring the Effects of Privatizing Healthcare</title>
 <link>http://hir.harvard.edu/archives/5768</link>
 <description>The link between poverty and health is well established worldwide, but the connection is both direct (lack of access to health services) and indirect (lack of awareness about health-related issues). Poverty helps produce ailments and ill-health pushes people towards poverty. It is a vicious cycle. Socioeconomic conditions create situations that can lead to ill-health. Health emergencies can cost individuals and families, dearly aggravating poverty.</description>

 <title> Bangladesh Has Formaldehyde to Thank for Its Short Supply of Mangoes This Season</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=37309&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Monsoon season in Bangladesh is a delicious time when markets overflow with an abundance of seasonal fruits. Red lychees, green jackfruits and yellow melons are on colorful display, piled high in baskets and on tables.

The sweet, fleshy mango is especially sought after, but this year the fruit is harder to find due to a police drive to control the misuse of formalin, a strong solution of formaldehyde used to preserve produce (traditionally used to preserve dead bodies). Last month, police set up mobile formalin-detection units, confiscating and destroying truck loads of locally produced and imported fruits.</description>

 <title> Carnivorous Greed</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=37297&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>The industrial production of meat and meat products is becoming a huge problem for environmental pollution and the ravages to land and water. It’s also one of the greatest factors contributing to climate change and is the main global destination for GM crops. And if that weren’t bad enough, the industrial rearing of confined animals is characterised by its cruelty and, due to overcrowding and the large amount of antiviral drugs and antibiotics which are used, it’s a breeding ground for new diseases " both animal and human " such as bird flu and swine flu. The latter of these, for example, was detected in Perote, Veracruz, in the pig farms of Granjas Carroll.</description>

 <description>Human rights attorney Mario Joseph and Tourism Minister Stéphanie Villedrouin are both trying to improve Haiti, but they are following radically different paths. The one wants justice, the other wants tourism.
Attorney Joseph believes that he has found a way to help the victims of the cholera epidemic in Haiti. About 750,000 people have been infected with the disease and the death toll now stands at 8,500. Officials expect there to be about 45,000 new cases in 2014. The culprit is the international community.</description>

 <description>The history of the proposed barite mine in the Ixil communities of Guatemala isn\'t a unique story by any stretch of the imagination. Rather, it\'s a story that has been played out in almost every rural, agrarian community affected by the arrival of multinational mining and energy corporations coveting their natural wealth.   

These parallels in the stories are another convincing motivation to connect local resistance movements along the production-consumption-disposal lines of our global economy.</description>

 <description>Throughout history, managing water resources is the common thread connecting social stability, human wealth, prosperity, economic growth and sustainable ecosystems. Water has been central to achieving good public health, food security and sustainable energy. Water infrastructure and its good management have been humanity’s major adaptive measures to increase options for decision makers in times of drought and floods and to help make our cities more resilient and to guarantee the quality of our environment. Today the world faces a major ethical public policy dilemma. Our water and security debates are raising public anxiety about how changes in climate patterns will affect water availability and water related extreme events.</description>

 <description>NEW YORK, 20 May 2014 " A ground-breaking series of papers released by The Lancet at UNICEF Headquarters today shows that the majority of the almost 3 million children who die before they turn one month old could be saved if they received quality care around the time of birth " with a particular focus on the most vulnerable and under-served.

Newborn deaths account for a staggering 44 per cent of total mortality among children under five, and represent a larger proportion of under-five deaths now than they did in 1990. These deaths tend to be among the poorest and most disadvantaged populations.</description>

 <title> Breaking down the data: new snapshots of water and sanitation in Asia Pacific</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=36429&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>New data released by UNICEF shows some interesting trends in water, hygiene and sanitation (WASH) supply throughout East Asia and the Pacific (EAP). This regioncovers 27 countries - 12 in East Asia and 15 in the Pacific. It includes ‘giants’ such as China (with a population of over 1.3 billion) at one end of the spectrum and Tuvalu in the Pacific with less than 10,000 people at the other end. Because of this diversity, I wondered how much difference would be seen in some of the regional statistics with and without China.</description>

 <title> Food systems for better nutrition</title>
 <link>http://www.fao.org/publications/sofa/2013/en/</link>
 <description>Malnutrition in all its forms " undernutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, and overweight and obesity " imposes unacceptably high economic and social costs on countries at all income levels. Improving nutrition and reducing these costs requires a multisectoral approach that begins with food and agriculture and includes complementary interventions in public health and education.

 <title> Biopiracy</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=18046&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Biopiracy is understood as the unauthorized use of the genetic resources and the indigenous knowledge of communities by others who have neither taken permission from the communities nor entered into any kind of contract with them. Biopiracy is not a new phenomenon. The plunder of biological wealth from the biodiversity rich southern countries was a hallmark of colonial time. </description>

 <title> Right to Health</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=11755&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>The right to health is protected by international legal instruments such as Article 25 of Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Article 12 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. The right to health encompass both freedoms and entitlements. The freedoms include the right to control one's health and body and the right to be free from interference, such as the right to be free from torture, non-consensual medical treatment and experimentation. The entitlements include timely and appropriate health care and the underlying determinants of health, such as access to safe and potable water and adequate sanitation, an adequate supply of safe food, nutrition and housing, healthy occupational and environmental conditions, and access to health-related education and information.  Availability, accessibility, acceptability and quality are the four criteria by which the implementation of right to health is to be assessed.  </description>
