In late 2025, major global food and consumer goods producers—including PepsiCo, Nestlé, Coca-Cola, Procter & Gamble, and Unilever —met in Europe to discuss the future of packaging[1]. The summit focused on new ideas to make packaging more sustainable and reduce waste. However, one important issue remains unclear: did the event incorporate the voices and concerns of countries in the Global South?
1. Urban agriculture boosts food security and household resilience.
Families with climate-smart gardens were up to 35% less likely to face hunger, produced five to six times more food, and spent up to 35% less on food purchases, strengthening dietary diversity and income stability.
2. Women benefit most from climate-smart gardening.
Women-headed households saw the largest improvements in food and nutrition security, highlighting urban farming’s potential to empower women and promote more inclusive, resilient communities.
AbstractThis article estimates the effect of environmental regulation on firm productivity using a spatial regression discontinuity design implicit in China's water quality monitoring system. Because water quality readings are important for political evaluations and the monitoring stations only capture emissions from their upstream regions, local government officials are incentivized to enforce tighter environmental standards on firms immediately upstream of a monitoring station, rather than those immediately downstream.
AbstractAs a key component of informal regulation, nongovernmental organization (NGO) monitoring reduces the cost of government oversight and increases the visibility of corporate performance to stakeholders, thereby promoting corporate compliance. We conduct a nationwide randomized controlled trial (RCT) to investigate the causal effect of NGO monitoring on corporate compliance as measured by the environmental information disclosure (EID) of China's highly polluting listed companies.
In northern India, where air pollution is a growing health crisis, researchers, in collaboration with journalists, have investigated ways to raise awareness by putting science in the public's hands
Background Community air pollution science serves as a vital tool in public health and urban planning, enabling communities to advocate for policy changes that improve public health outcomes. Despite its potential, there is a noticeable gap in translating research findings into policy actions.
Objectives This review aims to assess the focus of studies on community air pollution science published between 1990-2023 and identify the extent to which these studies address the research-to-policy gap.
