new The quality of oncology training and education is paramount, but when it comes to the capacity of the cancer workforce to meet global medical needs, the number of professionals working in the field is equally critical. To achieve universal health coverage in the context of a growing cancer burden, governments will need to develop national workforce strategies and prioritise investments in health and care worker recruitment, education and training, but also in the retention and protection of oncology personnel. A chronic issue in many health systems, staff shortages were further accentuated by COVID-19. A... — esmo.org, 9h ago

new Consider the facts. As during the late 1940s, disrupted labor markets, production bottlenecks, a shortage of housing and persistent foreign threats are forcing innovation, migration and increased capital investment in North America. Fortunately, North America's abundant human, financial and intellectual capital, combined with its unique mix of natural resources, business climate, and geography, has positioned it for strong growth in these turbulent times. The key to maximizing this opportunity is to efficiently integrate innovations in technology and business models, which exploit the Digital Techno-Economic Revolution's underlying economics. — circuitinsight.com, 9h ago

new One of the key policy challenges for ensuring freshwater protection is to find a way to maintain the connectivity, integrity and resilience of freshwater ecosystems while continuing anthropogenic activities, including generation of hydropower and irrigation among others. This challenge is made even more complex with climate change. The recently adopted Sharm el-Sheikh Implementation Plan flags this challenge, “… recognizing the critical role of protecting, conserving and restoring water systems and water-related ecosystems in delivering climate adaptation benefits and co-benefits, while ensuring social and environmental safeguards.” Managing freshwater ecosystems with these goals in mind will require collaboration across local, regional, national, and transboundary scales. — IUCN, 1d ago

And it points to finance, technology, and international cooperation as “critical enablers for accelerated climate action. If climate goals are to be achieved, both adaptation and mitigation financing would need to increase many-fold,” and while there’s enough money in the global system to get decarbonization done, “there are barriers to redirect[ing] capital to climate action.”... — Corporate Knights, 1d ago
