How a warming planet harms women and girls | Supporting maternity care in Ethiopia | More
United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA)
Ensuring rights and choices for all since 1969
This week, with the United Nations Climate Change Conference under way, new research shows how climate disasters are severely impacting poor and vulnerable women and girls, with extreme heat and other weather events increasing the risk of stillbirth, miscarriage, premature births and maternal deaths. In light of the global crisis, we provide a powerful photo essay and a list of what women and girls need most. And in Ethiopia's Somali region, which has been ravaged by drought, we report on how UNFPA is working with health facilities and women's advocates to improve crucial maternal care. Thanks for reading.
Climate disasters are severely impacting poor and vulnerable women and girls, as new research shows, with extreme heat and other crises increasing the risk of stillbirth, miscarriage, premature births and maternal deaths. A photo essay captures the crisis.
A list of what women and girls need most as climate disasters and displacement wreak havoc.
Nearly 40 per cent of displacements driven by natural disasters in 2023 occurred in countries highly vulnerable to climate change but ill-equipped to respond, according to new analysis by UNFPA.

3 个月Climate change is severely impacting women and girls, particularly in vulnerable regions, with rising extreme weather events increasing the risk of maternal health issues like stillbirths, miscarriages, and premature births. In Ethiopia’s drought-stricken Somali region, UNFPA is improving maternity care by working with health facilities and local advocates. Immediate action is needed to address these challenges by strengthening health systems, ensuring reproductive healthcare, and promoting climate resilience to protect women’s health and rights. #ClimateChange #MaternalHealth #WomenAndGirls #UNFPA #ClimateCrisis #HealthEquity #Ethiopia #SustainableDevelopment #ClimateAction #GenderEquality
