Navigating Pregnancy and Children's Health as Our Climate Warms 

The summer of 2023 was Earth's hottest since global records began in 1880 and projections for 2024 are for the trend to continue with temperatures to be among the 10 hottest summers on record. Climate change has been a driver of hotter summers. Extreme and consistent heat has health impacts on everyone, but children and pregnant people have unique risks.  

This webinar will delve into the physiological impact of heat on children and pregnant people, focusing on particularly vulnerable populations. The presenters will also share some tips for keeping vulnerable populations and others safer on days that are dangerously hot.
