Climate Change And Birth

Around the world last year, more than 134 million babies were born. During that same 12-month period when so many lives were just beginning, about 6.8 billion people — nearly 80% of the global population —at least 31 days of extreme heat that was made at least two times more likely due to human-caused climate change., climate change is making it even more dangerous to have a uterus.

Yet while we often talk about climate change with the future of these children in mind, rarely do we consider the impact of the crisis now on the people who are giving birth to the generations who will inherit that world., climate change is making it even more dangerous to have a uterus.

A pregnant person’s immune system ratchets down during those crucial nine months so as not to reject the growing fetus, leaving the parent-to-be more susceptible to infectious diseases like malaria that increasingly have a climate component. Exposure to extreme heat during pregnancy increases the likelihood of preterm birth. Sea level rise can infuse drinking water with salt, which could lead to high blood pressure — a risk factor during pregnancy for premature birth and miscarriage.
