Climate Action for Women’s Health & Better Birth Outcomes

Featuring a conversation with Santosh Pandipati, MD, Director of Maternal-Fetal Medicine at O’Connor Hospital and Tracey Woodruff, PhD, MPH, Director of the Program on Reproductive Health and the Environment at the University of California San Francisco.

We are seeing the impacts of climate change all around us, and even in the face of a global pandemic, it continues to be the greatest public health threat of our lives. Women bear a disproportionate burden of climate impacts, in part because of the increasing evidence of the harms of climate change on birth outcomes. Join the lead authors of a recent special article in the International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics to hear more about the impacts of climate change on human reproduction and the urgent need for action to improve health.
