Summary: Higher education is crucial in the global fight against climate change as it contributes to research, education, and skills development for leaders and professionals to address the necessary systemic changes. However, the full extent of higher education's contribution to climate change challenges has not been articulated, leading to a lack of interdisciplinary focus in organizational structures, curricula, and research programs. This paper highlights the role of higher education in supporting climate change education and research, while identifying areas that require urgent action.

Summary: Universities are seen as key players in promoting sustainability, but the implementation of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) may vary among different stakeholders within the university community. A study conducted in an Italian polytechnic university revealed diverse social representations of sustainability and SDGs among academics, technical staff, and students. The findings suggest that there is a discrepancy between personal perceptions of relevance of SDGs and the university's role in enacting sustainability.

Summary: This study examined the readiness of undergraduate nursing students for interprofessional learning and socialisation in a large Australian university. The results showed that the mode of study and prior healthcare experience did not significantly affect students' readiness for interprofessional learning and socialisation. However, previous healthcare experience and duration of study significantly improved students' interprofessional socialisation skills. This suggests that nursing students may have interprofessional education opportunities that influence their perceived socialisation skills.

Summary: This systematic review examines the potential and limitations of Interprofessional Education (IPE) from the perspective of undergraduate students. The study found that most students have a positive perception of IPE, and highlights the need for more robust assessment instruments to measure its impact. Further research is recommended to assess the longitudinal effects of IPE on undergraduate teaching and learning.

Summary: This study conducted a quantitative research on 925 healthcare students from two institutions in Hong Kong and used the Social Interaction Anxiety Scale (SIAS-6) and Social Phobia Scale (SPS-6). The results showed that these scales have good psychometric properties among healthcare students in Hong Kong. The study also proposed quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods research designs to guide researchers in contributing to the discussion of student's social interactions in IPE.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the impact of employing the pedagogy of interconnected learning on the types of sustainability transition narratives produced by students in a sustainability course. The research found that most students' narratives were expanded during the course experience, with some students producing hybrid narratives combining two or more types, and others introducing new elements to the transition narrative framework.

Summary: The role of Chief Medical Officers (CMOs) has been highly contested during the COVID-19 pandemic, with arguments over whether they should act independently of the government or as civil servants supporting the government. This is due to the inherently contradictory nature of the role, which requires balancing commitments as physicians with mandates as civil servants. The pandemic has further highlighted the varying remits and expectations of CMOs across different jurisdictions, leading to calls for amendments in some areas.

Summary: Despite uncertainty surrounding the long-term health impacts and effectiveness for tobacco smoking cessation of e-cigarettes, their global use continues to rise. Various governments face unique challenges in regulating and incentivizing these products in a way that optimizes public health, with options ranging from prohibition to promoting harm reduction. Through comparative public policy analysis, this study aims to inform future decisions by governments on addressing the public health challenges posed by e-cigarettes.

Summary: In the past six years, there has been unprecedented global attention on antimicrobial resistance (AMR), resulting in increased discussions at various multinational organizations and international forums. This study analyzes the commitments made by the global community regarding AMR following the implementation of the AMR Tripartite's Global Action Plan (GAP) in 2015. The analysis reveals emergent themes and gaps in the discourse on AMR, highlighting a lack of concrete and nuanced pledges to action between 2015 and 2021. The study also found a limited commitment to specific actions on AMR in the environment.

Summary: A carefully designed funding approach can provide valuable and contextually relevant knowledge on global health and development issues. To ensure the benefits reach ODA-receiving countries, the programs should focus on recipient-country priorities, translate research into context-appropriate technologies, establish equitable partnerships, enhance individual and institutional capacity, and emphasize knowledge mobilization.

Summary: Although legal epidemiology has been well developed in the context of domestic law, the challenges of applying it to the global legal space have not been fully explored. The complexities of the global legal space often blur the distinctions between different types of law, making international laws, policies, and norms have independent effects. To promote the adoption of global legal epidemiology, the existing typology of public health law studies can be expanded to include examples of policymaking, mapping, implementation, intervention, and mechanism studies. Global legal epidemiology holds great promise in producing rigorous and impactful research on the international laws, policies, and norms that shape our collective health and well-being.

Summary: There are over 250,000 international treaties that aim to foster global cooperation, but most of them have failed to produce their intended effects. However, treaties governing international trade and finance consistently achieved their intended effects. Impactful treaties achieve their effects through socialization and normative processes rather than longer-term legal processes. Enforcement mechanisms are the only modifiable treaty design choice that can improve the effectiveness of treaties governing environmental, human rights, humanitarian, maritime, and security policy domains.

Summary: Antimicrobial resistance poses an urgent threat to global public health and development, necessitating short-term action. Leveraging existing international legal agreements offers an opportunity to increase collective action on AMR goals in the short-term. While existing legal hooks can strengthen AMR governance, they should be pursued simultaneously with longer-term approaches.

Summary: In 2015, 196 countries committed to addressing global antimicrobial resistance, but progress reports suggest implementation is below expectations. To encourage country compliance with global health agreements, leaders should frame incentives, pursue enforcement mechanisms, build trust, manage poor performers, and facilitate continual social learning.
