UN Warns Extreme Heat Poses Rising Risk to Pregnant Women and Infants Globally

UN Climate Change Executive Director Simon Stiell, ahead of COP in Fiji, cited a survey showing over two-thirds of health experts across five continents have treated pregnant women and infants for heat-related complications in the past five years. The warning highlights a growing health impact of global warming, though the survey's methodology and full data are not yet public. This elevates climate change as a direct health threat, potentially influencing policy discussions at COP.
