'What difference does language make? Comparing systematic evidence reviews of Vietnamese and English language literatures on climate change and the health of outdoor workers' by Anh Ngoc Vu et al.

doi.org/10.1111/area... #geosky
Screenshot of a paper abstract in Area by Anh Ngoc Vu, Jonathan Rigg, Felicity Kersting, Ekaterina Tarnovskaya & Loc Duc Nguyen (2025) entitled: 'What Difference Does Language Make? Comparing Systematic Evidence Reviews of Vietnamese and English Language Literatures on Climate Change and the Health of Outdoor Workers' with a black banner at the top. The dominance of English-language scholarship in global research has led to a significant knowledge divide, often marginalising research from non-English-speaking regions, particularly in the Global South. This paper presents a comparative analysis of two systematic literature reviews (SLRs) on the health impacts of climate change on outdoor workers in urban Asia, focusing on English- and Vietnamese-language literature. By comparing these two bodies of scholarship, the study uncovers key thematic convergences and divergences, reflecting broader disparities in knowledge production, research norms and priorities. The English-language literature emphasises macro-level analyses, theoretical frameworks, and long-term policy interventions, while the Vietnamese-language literature offers more localised, context-specific insights, highlighting immediate coping strategies and health risks faced by outdoor workers. We argue that the systematic exclusion of non-English sources risks reinforcing existing epistemic hierarchies, narrowing debate on global health and climate change research. By integrating Southern-language perspectives, research can better and more equitably address the diverse vulnerabilities of outdoor workers and develop more effective and locally attuned interventions. The study emphasises the need to cast our linguistic net more widely to enrich global understanding and help achieve epistemic justice.

The last Guardian article by the great Nina Lakhani is a beautiful survery of her six years' environmental justice reporting. It's a beautiful valediction, and a reason to follow her new work at drilled.media www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I’ve spent six years writing about environmental justice. The uncomfortable truth is that we’re not all in it together – but people power is reshaping the fight

A bar chart showing Do people think elected officials are honest? A 47% median of adults across 25 countries say few or none of their elected officials are honest. Roughly a third (36%) say some are honest. Only 14% believe this describes all or most officials in their country. Perceptions of elected officials are especially negative in Greece and most of the African and Latin American countries surveyed. Roughly three-quarters of Greeks say few or none of their elected officials are honest. Majorities also take this stance in Argentina, Brazil, Italy, Kenya, Mexico and Nigeria. In fact, shares in these countries ranging from 15% to 31% of adults say none of their elected officials are honest.
