Study Highlights Impact of Climate Change on Reproductive Health in Odisha
IN · Published Sep 13, 2026
A recent study has highlighted the significant impact of climate change on reproductive health in India, with a focus on women who are disproportionately affected due to biological, socioeconomic, and cultural vulnerabilities.
The study, conducted among nursing students in a college in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, aimed to assess their awareness of the link between climate change and reproductive health.

Impact & Risks

The study reveals that women in India face heightened health risks due to climate change, including potential impacts on reproductive health. These risks are exacerbated by existing gender-based disparities and vulnerabilities. The lack of awareness among healthcare professionals, such as nursing students, could hinder effective responses to these challenges. The findings suggest that without targeted interventions, the health and well-being of women, particularly in vulnerable regions like Odisha, may be at greater risk.
