Pregnant women and newborns are particularly vulnerable to extreme heat, with increased risks of preterm births, stillbirths, and other health complications. Over 80% of surveyed medical professionals believe the situation will worsen without immediate action. The study also highlights that rising temperatures are making it harder for pregnant women to access necessary healthcare, further exacerbating risks. The World Health Organisation has identified climate change as the greatest threat to global public health, with heat stress projected to contribute to 250,000 additional deaths annually.
