Covid-19 management by farmers and policymakers in Burkina Faso, Colombia and France: Lessons for climate action.

Context: During crises, adaptation or recovery measures or plans at local or national scales may not necessarily address longer-term or structural problems such as climate change mitigation.

Objective: This article describes farmers and policymakers' responses to mitigate the adverse effects of Covid-19 on the agricultural sector. We then assess the responses' possible effects on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Intravenous immunoglobulin for treatment of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy and multifocal motor neuropathy in France: are daily practices in accordance with guidelines?

Background And Purpose: Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) and multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) are rare autoimmune diseases. Guidelines were published in 2010 for their diagnosis and treatment. In France, intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIGs) are mainly used for the first-line treatment.

Natural Assurance Scheme: A level playing field framework for Green-Grey infrastructure development.

This paper proposes a conceptual framework to systematize the use of Nature-based solutions (NBS) by integrating their resilience potential into Natural Assurance Scheme (NAS), focusing on insurance value as corner stone for both awareness-raising and valuation. As such one of its core goal is to align research and pilot projects with infrastructure development constraints and priorities. Under NAS, the integrated contribution of natural infrastructure to Disaster Risk Reduction is valued in the context of an identified growing need for climate robust infrastructure.
