Add and continue in the dangerous effects that climate change entails and the last knowledge is the one who meets the women pregnant. And this is Climate crisisAs could be confirmed in a report prepared by the Independent platform of scientists and journalists Climate Centralhas made every year Increase the number of days “dangerously hot” That can be the health of women waiting for a risk of a child.
This analysis was developed between 2020 and 2024 and was mainly intensified in autonomous communities such as Balearic Islands, Castilla-La Mancha, Catalonia, Valencian community and Murcia. If the cities were extrapolated, who registered an increase in the most accused thermometers in more days, Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia and Sevilla were.
A reality that is exacerbated worldwide, especially in developing countries in areas such as the Caribbean, Middle and South America, the Pacific islands, Southeast -Asia and Sub -Saharan -Africa.
Climate change and temperature rise: when the risk for pregnant women is increased
Climate change increased risk days for pregnant women between 2020 and 2024Especially on the Balearic Islands (extra 28 days), Castilla-La Mancha (26), Catalonia, Valencian community and Murcia (all three with 25), according to a report from the independent platform of scientists and journalists Climate Central.
The Study of this International Organization also Records The Increase In Additional Heat Days – Which in which Temperatures Exceed 95 % of Historical Local Temperures – In Aragon (24 More Days), Andalusia (21), Castilla y León, Canary and La Rioja, NavaNaja, NavaNaja, NavaNaja, Navajja, Isary and La Riojja, and RioAja, Isary and La Rioja, and RioAja, Isary and La Riojja, and RioAja,) and RioAja, Isary and Rioja, and RioAja,) and RioAja and RioAja, and RioAja,) and RioAja, and RioAja, and RioAja (20) and Riojaa and Riojaa. (17), Basque Country and Asturias (16) Ceuta (15).
Of the four Spanish cities that collect the report, Barcelona with 28 days was the one who experienced a larger increase, followed by Madrid with 25, Valencia with 22 and Sevilla with 11.
Climate and pregnant change -relationship worldwide
Central Climate Research Analyzes a total of 247 countries and areas and 940 citiesAnd concludes that the annual average of “dangerous hot” days for pregnant women “doubled at least”, which increases over the past five years in almost 90 % of the first and in 63 % of the second.
In addition, in almost a third of countries and areas, “climate change has added risk of risk at least one month every year” during pregnancy.
According to this study, the largest number of added days was, In developing countries “Areas that often have limited access to health care”Such as the Caribbean, Central and South America, the Pacific islands, the Southeast -Asia and the Sub -Saharan Africa, which are the most vulnerable to the effects of climate change.
To reach these conclusions, the organization used two main tools: on the one hand the accounting of the extra heat days and on the other hand the Climate Change Index (CSI) system, a “background scenario” that would have calculated the number of days that would have taken place in a world without climate change.
This larger number of hot days, urges the central climate, It is associated with the risk of premature birth that “having permanent effects on the health of the baby and the risk of mother’s health problems after delivery”But also on Good condition of babies who have already been bornSo “the climatic crisis is also a crisis for public health.”
The report relates to high temperatures with a greater risk of hypertension, gestational diabetes, hospitalization, severe morbidity of the mother, morinatality and early birth. The scientific vice -president of the organization, Kristina Dahl, has emphasized that “even a single extreme heat day can increase the risk of serious complications during pregnancy,” especially “In places where it is already difficult to gain access to health care ».
