Climate Change
Climate change hits women particularly hard. As temperatures rise, everyone, including children playing outside, is increasingly at risk from heat-related illnesses and the expanding tropical diseases. Adverse pregnancy outcomes, specifically premature birth and low birth weight, both of which often have life-long consequences, as well as stillbirth, have been associated with increasing heat and air pollution.
