In a recent report released by the United Nations, and was obtained by African health report (AHR), it has been revealed that extreme heat significantly raises the risk of stillbirth.
The findings underscore the urgent need for action to address the escalating threats posed by climate change to maternal and neonatal health worldwide.
Additionally, the report emphasizes the link between climate change and the spread of vector-borne diseases like malaria, dengue fever, and Zika virus, which pose grave risks to both mothers and newborns.
These alarming revelations underscore the critical importance of transitioning to clean energy sources and implementing sustainable practices across industries to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change on global health.
