🚨📰 Si una corporación de comestibles #ultraprocesados (#comidachatarra), inicia acciones legales para obstruir una iniciativa de salud pública en un país en vías de desarrollo, NO debe existir espacio para colaboraciones con dicha entidad.
Tal comportamiento sabotea directamente los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible por los cuales la humanidad entera está luchando 🤷🏻♂️. Aquí nuestra opinión al respecto en el British Medical Journal.

Rechazamos la acción militar unilateral de EE.UU. e Israel, que supone una escalada y contribuye a un orden internacional más incierto y hostil.
Rechazamos igualmente las acciones del régimen iraní y de la Guardia Revolucionaria. No podemos permitirnos otra guerra prolongada y devastadora en Oriente Medio.
Exigimos la desescalada inmediata y el pleno respeto del derecho internacional.
Es hora de retomar el diálogo y alcanzar una solución política duradera para la región.

"An abrupt dismantling of the agency, without a considered plan, risks undermining hard-won gains."
As the @UNAIDS board meets next week to decide the agency’s future, it should focus on a strategic transition that safeguards progress

New Perspective: Research doesn’t always ‘speak for itself’; uptake of science into #publichealth policy requires active engagement between researchers & policymakers. @jjaimemiranda & colleagues offer tangible recommendations to help bridge this gap.

Memo to Rachel Reeves - no, growth does not “underpin everything else”. A thriving natural world does - and slashing ability of concerned residents to challenge the destructive impact of mega projects is yet another way of turning more people off politics theguardian.com/politics/202…
