Residential green space, cognitive function, and dementia: A systematic literature review
Abstract Green space may contribute to cognitive aging and dementia risk; however, previous reviews have not comprehensively examined effect modification by socioeconomic status (SES), race, and ethnicity. We searched Ovid Medline, APA PsycINFO, Embase, and Web of Science to systematically review studies on green space, cognitive outcomes, and dementia

Population-level linkages between urban greenspace and health inequality : the case for using multiple indicators of neighbourhood greenspace [PDF]
Exposure to greenspace in urban environments is associated with a range of improved health and well-being outcomes. There is a need to understand which aspects of greenspace influence which components of health.

ABSTRACT Although blue‐green infrastructure (BGI) is increasingly used to mitigate the challenges that climate change poses for cities, public involvement in its design is uneven. Here we examine three BGI projects in Ōtautahi Christchurch, Aotearoa New Zealand, documenting how local communities and mana whenua were engaged in their design and the ...

The Climate Impasse: Disavowal, Exhaustion and Everyday Life in the Climate Crisis
ABSTRACT The consequences of climate‐related disasters and emergencies are becoming increasingly stark. And yet in many places, consensus on climate action appears unattainable. I call this problem the climate impasse. In this paper, I draw on emerging theory on affect and negativity to characterise this impasse in three ways.

Green pathways to mental health: Relationships between treescapes and well‐being and distress
Abstract We aimed to evaluate the mental health benefits and possible mechanisms of objective and subjective treescape exposures whilst also accounting for relationships with residential area greenspace in general. Independent variables were objective measures of residential neighbourhood tree cover density and woody linear features, and a subjective ...

Comfort in the canopy: How urban treescapes affect human thermal comfort in a temperate climate
Abstract People living in urban centres are exposed to higher levels of heat stress than those living outside of these areas; this is intensified by the urban heat island effect. Heat stress is a concern for the more vulnerable members of society and can exacerbate many medical conditions; excessive heat increases morbidity and mortality rates.

Abstract Nature‐based solutions (NbS) have become central to environmental governance. Yet, their societal legitimacy depends on how they are framed in public discourse. This study investigates how Norwegian media actors construct narratives around NbS, whose voices are amplified, and the extent to which plural and Indigenous epistemologies are ...
