Background: Public health professionals are crucial in implementing health-promoting climate change adaptation and mitigation measures, yet climate education is inconsistently integrated into public health curricula worldwide. We aimed to assess the proportion of institutions that provided public health degrees with climate and health education, the annual number of students trained in climate and health, and the extent to which students had climate and health knowledge during 2023-24.
Methods: From Nov 1, 2023, to March 15, 2024, our online survey quantified climate and health education in public health schools that provide degrees across all WHO regions.

Peritoneal dialysis (PD), long established as the leading form of home dialysis, has comparatively good 5-year outcomes and cost-utility analyses have consistently demonstrated benefits to both patients and payers. Future improvements should still be sought, such as the further development of promising technologies designed to limit PD-associated harm, but given the physical and anatomical constraints of PD, these are unlikely to be transformational through the dialysis process itself. Rather, future focus should be on interventions that are effective across the whole dialysis population, such as mitigating the rate of loss in residual kidney function, pharmacological interventions for symptoms of kidney failure and suppressing inflammation.
