Șeful Comisiei ONU pentru Schimbări Climatice avertizează asupra pericolului crescut al căldurii extreme pentru femeile însărcinate

High temperatures pose significant risks during pregnancy, including premature births and congenital malformations, as highlighted by Simon Stiell at a pre-COP31 meeting. A recent study indicates that extreme heat is increasingly linked to adverse pregnancy outcomes. A survey revealed that 73% of maternal health professionals reported rising heat-related complications in pregnant women over the past five years. Stiell emphasized that pregnancy should be a hopeful time, but climate-related disasters are causing anxiety and straining health systems. He urged that climate change should not compromise the safety of pregnancies and childbirth.
