The text also notes the US's refusal to join the 2021 Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW).

The Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE) asserts that reconciliation is a collective national responsibility, emphasizing that environmental and health outcomes depend on justice for Indigenous and racialized people. CAPE is implementing this through internal decolonization, the launch of an Indigenous Caucus on October 1st, and partnerships like the Place-Based Power Project, which addresses health and climate impacts from fossil fuel extraction in Northern BC, Alberta, and the Northwest Territories. The organization also advocated for Bill C-226 and updates to the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA) to recognize the right to a healthy environment and address disproportionate exposures on Indigenous lands.

Representative Jennifer L. McClellan issued a statement in the Congressional Record recognizing the 40th anniversary of the Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI). She highlighted EESI's role since 1984 as an independent nonprofit providing members of Congress and staff with nonpartisan, science-based educational resources on climate, clean energy, and environmental topics. McClellan noted that EESI's resources assist congressional offices in serving constituents and mentioned her own participation in EESI's podcast, 'The Climate Conversation', to discuss environmental justice, public health impacts of the climate crisis, and community resilience.

The document advises journalists to move beyond describing fracking as 'controversial' and instead explain its specific climate and health impacts. It highlights that fracking accounts for nearly two-thirds of US oil production and argues that its methane emissions make it more damaging to the climate than coal. The guide also emphasizes the importance of reporting on state-level regulation and the need for a just transition for fossil-fuel-dependent communities.

The ADAPTE project assesses how air pollution and extreme weather interact to affect human health in Mexico City, Santiago, Buenos Aires, and Bogotá. It finds that suspended particles and nitrogen oxides in these cities significantly exceed WHO standards, with respiratory and cardiovascular mortality risks varying by city, season, age, and socio-economic status.

The Energy Policy Simulator (EPS) is a peer-reviewed, open-source System Dynamics model created in Vensim that allows users to simulate the effects of various energy and climate policies. It utilizes an economy-wide approach with annual time steps, typically running to 2050, and incorporates a profit-maximizing least-cost optimized electricity model. The EPS can model a wide range of policies, such as renewable portfolio standards and fuel economy standards, and includes embedded modules to translate these changes into economic outcomes (GDP, jobs) and health outcomes based on U.S. EPA estimates. The tool's methodologies have been reviewed by experts from institutions such as MIT, Stanford, and various national laboratories.

The document explains how climate change—specifically warmer winters, hotter summers, and altered precipitation—is expanding the range and survival of disease-carrying insects like mosquitoes and ticks. It highlights specific threats in the US, such as Eastern Equine Encephalitis in New England and Lyme disease in the Northwest, while noting that over 8 billion people could be at risk of malaria and dengue by the end of the 21st century if emissions continue to rise. The guide advises reporters to examine weather patterns, social determinants of health, and to consult vector biologists.

The document examines the prevalence of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), known as "forever chemicals," in the U.S. environment and population. It details the health risks, including cancer and immune suppression, and outlines the regulatory response led by the EPA's 2021 Strategic Roadmap and the 2024 National Primary Drinking Water Regulation. The brief also covers state-level phase-outs, legislative efforts in the 118th Congress, and technical challenges in remediating PFAS from water and soil.

The report details a community health screening in Phola, Mpumalanga Highveld, finding severe environmental degradation and widespread health issues linked to coal mining. Key findings include high rates of respiratory symptoms, chronic conditions, and a strong community perception that the environment is hazardous. The study also highlights socio-economic vulnerabilities, including high unemployment and reliance on social grants, and recommends strategies for government, healthcare providers, and the community to mitigate these impacts.

The report calculates that the planned expansion of the Afşin Elbistan A Thermal Power Plant will cause significant public health damage and economic losses. In the first year of operation (2028), the project is estimated to cause 42 deaths and cost the economy 58.1 million USD. Over a 35-year operational period (2028-2063), the cumulative impact is projected to be 2,268 deaths and an economic cost of 2.6 billion USD, which the authors equate to the cost of building 29 hospitals with 500 beds each.

The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) evaluated 38 federal agencies on their adherence to scientific integrity metrics, finding that 71% scored 'poor' or 'worst'. The report argues that political interference in science disproportionately harms underserved communities and proposes a blueprint for the next presidential administration to strengthen scientific integrity through better policy enforcement, transparency, and the integration of environmental justice principles.

The guide explains how climate change intensifies wildfires by increasing evaporation and drying out vegetation, creating a feedback loop where fires destroy carbon sinks and emit more carbon.
