    In our most read post of the month, Adilsonio da Costa outlines the environmental and livelihood risks Timor-Leste citizens face if the government and proponents of a petroleum infrastructure project do not implement environmental protections and follow Timor-Leste’s environmental laws, and dismiss affected communities while continuing to build the project.

    The Maternal Health Initiative grabbed the 2nd and 4th most read spots. Sarah B. Barnes highlights conversations from the recent Nairobi Summit on ICPD25 around quality of care and universal health coverage as human rights. Deekshita Ramanarayanan recaps a recent Wilson Center CODE BLUE event on the impact of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) on maternal health.

    In the 3rd most read post, Brigitte Hugh looks at how citizen science can enhance global water security.

    And finally, Richard Cincotta examines the two potential demographic trajectories for our world in the coming decades in his contribution to our Uncharted Territory series.
