Climate governance is dominated by men, yet the health impacts of the climate crisis often affect women, girls, and gender-diverse people disproportionately, argue researchers ahead of the upcoming 29th United Nations Climate Summit (COP29) in Azerbaijan.

A new study led by Trinity College Dublin researchers in the School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences and School of Nursing and Midwifery and driven by key stakeholders representing people with lived experience of taking or stopping psychiatric medication has put forward ten priorities for future research on reducing and stopping psychiatric medicines. These findings will help to guide future research and deliver responsive and strategic allocation of research resources, with a view to improving the future health and well-being of individuals who are prescribed psychiatric medication. The findings are published in the British Medical Journal (Open).
