Climate change is intensifying heat waves, creating significant health risks for pregnant women whose bodies struggle to regulate temperature. Research shows extreme heat exposure can increase risks of preeclampsia, preterm birth, and developmental issues, while worsening mental health conditions. Despite these dangers, women's health in relation to heat remains understudied, particularly in developing nations where impacts are most severe.
Global Warming Crisis: World Projected to Face 57 Additional Superhot Days Annually by 2100, Small Nations Most Vulnerable
Oct 16, 2025 03:35 pm CST
New research reveals the world is on track to experience nearly two months of additional dangerous heat days annually by 2100, with climate inequity leaving smaller, poorer nations bearing the brunt despite contributing minimally to emissions. While Paris Agreement commitments have prevented an even worse scenario of 114 additional superhot days, current trajectories still threaten billions globally with potentially catastrophic heat conditions.
