“…Risk for various infections increases with climate change. Low breastfeeding rates in countries at high-risk for climate change contribute to preventable child deaths, diarrhea, and pneumonia (Chalupka et al, 2023). Vector-borne illnesses have expanded into regions that were not previously hospitable, increasing exposure to un-inoculated populations.…”

The climate crisis is an emerging global challenge that poses potential risks to breastfeeding practices and outcomes. There are multifaceted effects of climate change affecting the breastfeeding dyad across environmental, societal, and human health dimensions. Breastfeeding support in the face of climate change will require solutions at the structural level—healthcare, community, and workplace settings—and at the mother-infant dyad level. Breastfeeding can additionally be an adaptive response to crisis situations and can mitigate some of the environmental challenges associated with climate change. Despite the undeniable significance of climate change on breastfeeding (and vice versa), our perspective as experts in the field is that this topic has not been systematically addressed. Although we highlight some of the challenges, potential solutions, and co-benefits of breastfeeding in the context of climate change, there are numerous issues that could be further explored and necessitate additional preparedness planning.

West Nusa Tenggara Province (NTB), Indonesia, is on a dedicated path to achieve Net Zero Emissions (NZE) by 2050. This review evaluated the province’s current policies, strategies, and initiatives aimed at transitioning to renewable energy, enhancing energy efficiency, and reducing carbon emissions. NTB’s significant renewable energy potential—spanning hydro, solar, geothermal, wind, biomass, and waste resources—and the projects underway to harness these resources were examined. Key challenges included the impacts of climate change, economic constraints, and infrastructure limitations, posing significant hurdles to the province’s energy goals. However, opportunities such as international collaborations, innovative financing strategies, and the development of large-scale renewable energy projects provide a strong foundation for progress. NTB’s proactive approach highlighted the critical role of community and private sector involvement in driving the energy transition. The review concludes that NTB’s efforts not only set a benchmark for sustainable development in Indonesia but also offer valuable insights for other regions aiming to achieve similar goals.

Objective: To summarize current research on associations between heat metrics and emergency department discharge diagnoses for US pregnant women and children from birth to age 18 via a scoping review. Background: Climate change directly contributes to extreme weather conditions and environmental changes and indirectly affects health and the health care system. Pregnant women and children are believed to be more susceptible to extreme heat, but few empirical studies have been conducted evaluating effects of heat metrics on these populations. Methods: Ovid MEDLINE, CIHAHL, SCOPUS, Web of Science, JSTOR, and PsycINFO databases were searched using a combination of key words. Results: Twelve studies were selected for this review. In pregnant women, positive associations were found between mean daily temperature and multiple subtypes of pregnancy complications, including threatened or spontaneous abortion, renal diseases, infectious diseases, diabetes, and hypertension. In children, positive associations were found with all-cause diagnoses; asthma; dehydration; electrolyte disorders; heat-related illness; infection; endocrine, nutritional, and metabolic diseases; injury; and otitis media and external emergency department discharge diagnoses and temperature or heatwave versus non-heatwave. Conclusion: By tracking associations between maternal–child emergency department discharge diagnoses and various heat metrics, researchers can contribute to better clinical practices that promote environmental justice and climate resilience.
