Abstract

Generally, women and children have been considered at-risk populations, especially pregnant women, and their unborn babies. In the past decade, there has been overwhelming evidence linking climate change--extreme heat and air pollution--to adverse pregnancy, reproductive, and overall maternal health outcomes across the globe. This formative report highlights the effects of climate change. Using autoethnography and an adapted Delphi method--the combination of the different expert opinions--this report makes contextualized recommendations for women to mitigate the effects of climate change on maternal health outcomes in Nigeria.
