Climate Change and Women’s Health
- Abstract
Conclusive evidence has demonstrated that climate change is having a dramatic impact on the lives of people around the world. Representing physicians dedicated to the whole well-being of women – including their safety, security, and access to quality care – the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recognizes that climate change is an urgent women’s health concern as well as a major public health challenge. We call on our national and international leaders to act to curb greenhouse gas emissions and limit further climate destabilization.
