Maternal and neonatal disorders accounted for 3.7% of total global deaths and 7.8% of global DALYs in 2019 . Children and pregnant women have potentially higher rates of vulnerability and/or exposure to climatic hazards, extreme weather events and undernutrition . Available evidence suggests that heat is associated with higher rates of pre-term birth , low birthweight, stillbirth, neonatal stress  and adverse child health . Extreme weather events are associated with reduced access to prenatal care, unattended deliveries  and decreased paediatric healthcare access .
