Develop privacy-respecting tools that help detect progression and treatment response in Parkinson's, epilepsy, dementia, and other disorders outside specialist centers.

Develop standards, sensing, urban design, and public awareness interventions to reduce disruption of insects, birds, turtles, and nocturnal ecosystems.

Develop enforceable systems that ensure indigenous peoples and local communities share in benefits from commercial use of biological resources and knowledge.

Develop targeted eradication and containment methods that protect native species, food systems, and local communities from unintended harms.

Create city planning and maintenance systems that support native plants, insects, birds, soil life, wetlands, and ecological connectivity.

Create alternatives, extraction monitoring, ecological safeguards, and procurement standards to reduce river erosion, coastal damage, and illegal sand mining.

Identify and remove institutional, cultural, pedagogical, and confidence barriers that prevent girls from persisting in high-level quantitative study.

Develop land-use, compensation, farming, and hydrological strategies that allow rivers to absorb floods without simply eliminating rural livelihoods.

Achieving methods for restoring the water quality and ecological function of urban rivers and lakes at meaningful scale demands simultaneous progress in fundamental research, engineering integration and socio-technical systems that work for low- and middle-income settings. Existing efforts remain fragmented relative to the magnitude of the challenge.

Achieving technologies enabling continuous non-invasive monitoring of multiple physiological parameters at meaningful scale demands simultaneous progress in fundamental research, engineering integration and socio-technical systems that work for low- and middle-income settings. Existing efforts remain fragmented relative to the magnitude of the challenge.

Current approaches to methods for assessing the long-term social and environmental impacts of large-scale technological change either underperform under variable field conditions or generate externalities that undermine long-term sustainability and equity. Closing the gap requires coordinated advances in science, systems design and enabling institutions.
