Pregnancy in a warming world: an opportunity for UK leadership

With the UN warning that global temperatures could rise by up to 2.8°C by the end of this century, the impacts of climate change on our health are becoming impossible to ignore.

This webinar brings together scientists, frontline practitioners, and political leaders to explore how rising temperatures affect maternal health - and what we can do to protect pregnancies in a warming world.

The session will highlight practical, scalable solutions already being trialled in the UK and across the Global South. By positioning the UK as a leader in this emerging field, we will discuss how to ensure safer pregnancies for all as climate pressures intensify now, and in the decades ahead.
