Virginia's new dashboards track pregnancy risks. But advocates say data alone won't fix disparities.

  • On May 14, Climate Central released a report showing that extreme heat doubled pregnancy heat-risk days in 222 of 247 countries between 2020 and 2024.
  • The increase results from man-made climate change causing more dangerously hot days that raise risks like premature labor and gestational diabetes.
  • The study found Southeast Asia hardest hit, with Singapore and nearby Indonesian Batam among the most affected, despite Singapore's strong healthcare access.
  • Dr. Kristina Dahl said climate change is "stacking the odds against healthy pregnancies," while expert Ana Bonell highlighted growing risks and many unknowns in heat’s impact.
  • These findings imply worsening maternal and infant health risks in regions with limited healthcare unless fossil fuel use is reduced and heat risk warnings increase.
