A recent report from the University of Alberta highlights the impact of climate change on child health, emphasizing the threats posed by extreme weather events. The study, supported by the World Universities Network Research Development Funds, identified 196 studies focusing on children aged 0-5 globally, with a concentration of research in Asia and Africa. Key outcomes of climate change on child health include preterm birth, low birth weight, malnutrition, and diarrheal diseases, while mental health problems and congenital disabilities receive less attention. The evidence gap map review aims to guide future research and interventions to address the evolving threats of climate change on global child health. [Extracted from the article] |
