- [Articles] Effects of climate change on physical inactivity: a panel data study across 156 countries from 2000 to 2022 April 1, 2026Rising temperatures are projected to increase the prevalence of physical inactivity, translating into additional premature deaths and productivity losses, especially in tropical regions. Prioritising heat-adaptive urban design, subsidised climate-controlled exercise facilities, and targeted heat-risk communication is essential to mitigate these emerging health and economic burdens, in addition to ambitious emissions reductions.Christian García-Witulski, Mariano Rabassa, Oscar Melo, Juliana Helo Sarmiento
- [Viewpoint] Affordability re-examined: beyond the health burden of safe water and clean cooking April 1, 2026Clean fuels and safe water have a clear role in averting devastating health outcomes, yet unaffordability remains a major barrier to their uptake and to correct and continued use. Within the global health field, we have no consistent answer to the question of how we know that something is affordable and for whom. In this […]Annelise Gill-Wiehl, Isha Ray
- [Comment] HPV vaccination impact in South Africa: evidence and next steps April 1, 2026Scaling up human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination is fundamental to South Africa's cervical cancer elimination agenda, particularly in the context of the world's largest HIV epidemic. School-based HPV vaccination represented a major policy achievement; however, sustained programme confidence requires real-world evidence that vaccination reduces oncogenic HPV prevalence across heterogeneous immune profiles and health-system contexts. Updated data […]Cari van Schalkwyk, Mazvita Muchengeti
- [Articles] Global climate justice and the future of air quality co-benefits in low-income and middle-income countries: an energy, climate, and health modelling study April 1, 2026Justice-centred climate mitigation strategies must ensure that LMICs do not miss an opportunity to realise transformative reductions in air pollution.Noah Scovronick, Jinyu Shiwang, Maddalena Ferranna, Fabian Wagner, Frank Errickson, Dan Tong, Xizhe Yan, Navroz K Dubash, Yang Liu, Bhargav Krishna, Marc Fleurbaey, Pengfei Wang, Shaouhui Zhang, Gregor Keisewetter, Steven J Smith, Francis Dennig, Wei Peng, Mark Budolfson
- [Editorial] Tuberculosis at a crossroads April 1, 2026This World Tuberculosis Day, as ever, the world has everything it needs to end tuberculosis in our lifetimes. Yet in 2024, 1·23 million people died of tuberculosis, indicating that tuberculosis persists as the world's deadliest infectious disease. 10·7 million people developed active tuberculosis disease, up from 10·3 million in 2020. With recent cuts in development […]The Lancet Global Health
