Creates programs and research to protect pregnant people, new mothers, and young children from climate change risks.
This bill would create new federal programs aimed at protecting pregnant individuals, new mothers, and young children from health risks linked to climate change. It sets aside $105 million to fund local initiatives and train healthcare workers, while also establishing a national strategy to identify high-risk areas and coordinate research.
Currently, there is no specific federal grant program or coordinated research focused on protecting pregnant individuals, new mothers, and young children from climate change risks. This bill would change that by setting aside $105 million to create two grant programs, establish a new NIH research consortium, and develop a national strategy to identify high-risk areas, all aimed at addressing these specific health challenges.
