Abstract Climate change and its severe health impacts raise serious concerns about climate justice. To measure a population’s vulnerability to climate change, researchers often apply indicator-based composite indices. In this work, we present a modeling framework for constructing a climate health vulnerability index (CHVI) and examine how methodological choices influence the identification of vulnerable communities.

Abstract : The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on work–life balance may be unequal between female and male scientists. Further information is needed regarding whether the working conditions and career satisfaction for women and racialized scientists are disproportionately affected by the pandemic.

Background: Transnational immigration has increased since the 1950s. In countries such as the United States, immigrants now account for >15% of the population. Although differences in health between immigrants and nonimmigrants are well documented, it is unclear how environmental exposures contribute to these disparities. Objectives: We summarized current knowledge comparing immigrants’ and nonimmigrants’ exposure to and health effects of environmental exposures.
