Las enfermedades no transmisibles (ENT) son la principal causa de muerte en los paises de ingresos medios-bajos, medios-altos y altos; para 2015 lo seran tambien en los paises de ingresos bajos. En adicion a la mortalidad, las ENT representan cerca de la mitad de la carga de enfermedad medida en anos de vida ajustados por discapacidad (DALY) en los paises de ingresos bajos y medios, y se proyectan grandes aumentos en los DALY relacionados con las ENT. Para responder a este reto, los gobiernos deberan disenar e implementar politicas economicas, sociales y de salud con las cuales se trabaje en las relaciones existentes entre las ENT y la pobreza, y minimizar las perdidas economicas y en salud de la poblacion. Las politicas publicas y el reto de las enfermedades cronicas no transmisibles ofrece un marco de referencia util para los gobiernos en la formulacion de sus estrategias. Los autores senalan que la respuesta politica mas efectiva sera dual: desarrollar programas para evitar tanto como sea posible la amenazadora carga de enfermedad de las ENT-por ejemplo, mediante intervenciones en salud publica y mejores servicios de salud- y simultaneamente prepararse para atender el sistema de salud y las presiones economicas que se originaran con el incremento de las ENT a causa del envejecimiento de las poblaciones. Este libro interesara a los gobiernos, organizaciones internacionales, universidades e institutos de investigacion, concentrandose en los servicios de salud, politicas economicas, salud publica y estrategias de reduccion de la pobreza.

Disasters such as earthquakes, cyclones, floods, heat waves, nuclear accidents, and large-scale pollution incidents take lives and incur major health problems. The majority of large-scale disasters affect the most vulnerable populations, which often comprise extreme ages, remote living areas, and endemic poverty, as well as people with low literacy. Health emergency and disaster risk management (Health-EDRM) refers to the systematic analysis and management of health risks surrounding emergencies and disasters, and plays an important role in reducing the hazards and vulnerability along with extending preparedness, responses, and recovery measures. This concept encompasses risk analyses and interventions, such as accessible early warning systems, the timely deployment of relief workers, and the provision of suitable drugs and medical equipment to decrease the impact of disasters on people before, during, and after an event (or events). Currently, there is a major gap in the scientific literature regarding Health-EDRM to facilitate major global policies and initiatives for disaster risk reduction worldwide.

The papers included in this Special Issue address a variety of important aspects of plant biodiversity and genetic resources, including definitions, descriptions, and illustrations of different components and their value for food and nutrition security, breeding, and environmental services. Furthermore, comprehensive information is provided regarding conservation approaches and techniques for plant genetic resources, policy aspects, and results of biological, genetic, morphological, economic, social, and breeding-related research activities. The complexity and vulnerability of (plant) biodiversity and its inherent genetic resources, as an integral part of the contextual ecosystem and the human web of life, are clearly demonstrated in this Special Issue, and for several encountered problems and constraints, possible approaches or solutions are presented to overcome these.
