96 Global Health NOW: High Stakes, Shifting Landscapes on Climate Action; 鈥楴ightmare Bacteria鈥� on the Rise; and They鈥檙e Kind of a bIg Deal China, the world鈥檚 top emitter, pledged to cut emissions while U.S. sits on the sidelines at climate summit. September 25, 2025 People ride in heavily polluted fog on Wenhua West Road in Zaozhuang in China's Shandong province. January 3, 2024. CFOTO/Future Publishing via Getty Images  High Stakes, Shifting Landscapes on Climate Action    Ten years on from the Paris Agreement, the 鈥渟takes could not be higher鈥� as global warming accelerates, leading scientists and UN officials warned world leaders convened at the UN General Assembly yesterday.  

• 2024 was the first year global temperatures exceeded 1.5掳C, the Agreement鈥檚 critical threshold鈥攍eading to extreme weather disasters and worsening health and infrastructure challenges in communities across the globe, .  

Intervention still possible: If countries cooperate to transition to clean energy sources and eliminate food system waste, the under-1.5掳C goal can still be reached, scientists said. And yesterday, most of the world鈥檚 leading powers signaled they were willing to do that, , which provided a rundown of where major players stand.  

• 鈥淲e need new plans for 2035 that go much further, and much faster,鈥� said UN Secretary-General Ant贸nio Guterres.  

New plans submitted: Ahead of COP30 in Brazil in November, 47 countries submitted updated climate plans, but big emitters like the EU and India have yet to show their new plans.     China makes a modest鈥攂ut pivotal鈥攑ledge: The world鈥檚 top emitter pledged to cut emissions by 7%鈥�10% by 2035 and expand clean energy, aiming for over 30% non-fossil fuel use. The relatively small goal could still be 鈥渢ransformative鈥� globally, experts said.  
U.S. on the sidelines: The U.S. did not participate in the summit, with President Donald Trump roundly dismissing climate action as a 鈥済reen scam,鈥� . Other global leaders appeared undeterred, with the EU鈥檚 climate commissioner saying the bloc would do the 鈥渆xact opposite of what the U.S. is doing.鈥�  GLOBAL HEALTH VOICES The Latest One-Liners
90% of global research and development funding is being spent on universities, nonprofits, and government agencies in high-income countries, ; while that money is directed to solve problems such as neglected diseases in LMICs, just 10% of the funding is going directly to LMICs themselves.     A potential treatment for leishmaniasis has been identified in compounds found in Okinawan marine sponges, which effectively killed the disease-causing parasite while sparing human cells, ; researchers are hopeful the treatment could also be used against other protozoan diseases.     Over one-third of hospital-acquired infections involved drug-resistant bacteria, that drew on 34 hospital-based studies involving 20,658 patients across 18 countries.     Basic services in health facilities鈥攊ncluding reliable water, sanitation, hygiene, waste management, and electricity鈥攈ave improved in 100+ countries that have made 鈥渦nprecedented efforts鈥�; however, billions are still served by facilities without those essential features.   ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE 鈥楴ightmare Bacteria鈥� on the Rise    Infections from drug-resistant 鈥渘ightmare bacteria鈥� spiked ~70% in the U.S. between 2019 and 2023, .    Driving the increase: bacteria with the NDM gene, a resistance gene that makes treating infections extremely difficult.  

• Once rare, NDM-related infections rose 460%, with 1,800+ cases in 2023 across 29 reporting states. But that is likely only a partial picture, researchers say.   

• 鈥淭he rise of NDMs in the U.S. is a grave danger and very worrisome,鈥� said David Weiss, an infectious disease researcher at Emory University.  

Possible COVID link: Heavy antibiotic use during the pandemic may have fueled resistance.      GLOBAL HEALTH VOICES VACCINES New Protections for Newborns    Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a leading cause of newborn sepsis, meningitis, and lifelong disabilities鈥攃ausing 400,000 infections, 91,000 infant deaths, and 46,000 stillbirths annually, mainly in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.     Yet it has long flown under the radar. It is often undetected in pregnancy, carried by 15% of women without symptoms.  

• While testing and antibiotic protocols have become standard in high-income countries, many cases go undetected worldwide.  

Vaccines on the horizon: A long-awaited maternal vaccine from Pfizer is now in phase 3 trials, and another vaccine from Danish company MinervaX is also under development.  

• 鈥淭here has been incredible progress. But it has taken so long,鈥� said physician Carol Baker, who proposed a GBS vaccine in 1976.

Tawila, Darfur, August 14. AFP via Getty A Surge of Diseases in Sudan   In war-ravaged Sudan, medics are fighting their own multifront war against a surge of diseases overwhelming the country鈥檚 devastated health infrastructure, .     Malaria, typhoid, and dengue are all on the rise amid the country鈥檚 rainy season鈥攅specially in Khartoum, which reported 5,000+ cases of those diseases and dozens of deaths in the past month.  

• Khartoum state鈥檚 health ministry recorded 14,012 dengue cases since January 2024, . Mobile clinics have been deployed throughout the region.   

Cholera has spread to all 18 states of Sudan, with 113,600+ cases and 3,000+ deaths nationwide. Darfur is particularly affected, reporting a high fatality rate, .  

• The WHO has launched a vaccination campaign in the worst-hit areas, after weeks battling 鈥渁ccess, transport and logistical challenges,鈥� The campaign aims to protect 1.86 million people, especially children, who are disproportionately affected. 

Hospitals are overcrowded and struggling to treat patients amid medicine and equipment shortages. 

• In conflict-affected areas, 70% of hospitals are non-operational; half of Khartoum鈥檚 hospitals have been destroyed.

Tomorrow, for the first time, mental health will be at the heart of a UN meeting involving all member states at the heads of state level鈥攑resenting an opportunity to make mental health, and specifically young people鈥檚 mental health, an economic and moral priority, .     At the UN High-Level Meeting on the Prevention of Noncommunicable Diseases and Mental Health, taking place tomorrow in New York, governments will make political and financial commitments to mental health鈥攂ut the negotiations to shape the outcomes have been underway for months.     The draft political declaration calls on all UN member states to take steps including: 

• Scaling up services, support, and treatment for mental health conditions. 

• Improving suicide prevention measures and addressing mental health stigma. 

• Regulating harmful digital environments in a way that protects young people鈥檚 rights.    

To improve young people鈥檚 lives around the world, these words need to be translated into action, the authors say鈥攕haring examples of partnerships like the Being Initiative, a global, multistakeholder effort to promote investment in mental health led by Grand Challenges Canada, with partners including Science for Africa Foundation, Fondation Botnar, United for Global Mental Health, Orygen, and the UK鈥檚 Department for Health.

• The trend worries researchers, as the demographic makes up a growing share of the U.S. population.  

Behind the uptick: A range of factors impacting older people: severe illness, isolation, lack of mental health support, financial pressures, and easy access to firearms.  

• The U.S. among older adults than Mexico or Canada, which have stricter gun laws. 

Most at risk: Older white men in rural areas.     Possible interventions: Doctors can do more to assess their older patients鈥� mental health and connect them to resources, say advocates.
