Strengthening midwifery in response to global climate change to protect maternal and newborn health

The United Nations (UN) Climate Change Conference, commonly referred to as COP28, is being convened in November 2023 in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Although this is the 28th, it is the first time that health impacts will be directly represented. The World Health Organisation (WHO) will host a pavilion on-site and five key priorities will be presented. These are: Health impacts of climate change; Health benefits of climate mitigation; Climate resilient low-carbon health systems; Adaptation for health; and Action for health, relief, recovery, and peace.
