The "Protecting Moms and Babies Against Climate Change Act" aims to safeguard vulnerable individuals , including pregnant people, new mothers, and children under three, from health risks exacerbated by climate change. It seeks to address adverse maternal and infant health outcomes such as preterm birth, low birth weight, and maternal mortality, particularly focusing on racial and ethnic disparities. The legislation recognizes risks like extreme heat, air pollution, and severe weather events as contributors to these health challenges. A key provision establishes a competitive grant program, authorizing $100 million for fiscal years 2027-2030, to support ten "covered entities" in delivering direct services. These grants will fund initiatives to identify and mitigate climate risks for vulnerable individuals in disproportionately affected geographic areas. Funds can be used for training healthcare providers, hiring perinatal health workers, enhancing environmental monitoring, and providing direct assistance like air conditioning units, financial aid, housing, and mental health counseling. Another grant program, with $5 million authorized for fiscal years 2027-2030, will support health profession schools in developing education and training on climate change risks. This includes curriculum integration and continuing education for medical, nursing, and midwifery programs, covering risk identification, their effects on vulnerable individuals, racial disparities, patient counseling, and mitigation strategies. The bill also mandates the establishment of an NIH Consortium on Birth and Climate Change Research to coordinate research efforts, identify data gaps, and prioritize studies on disparities. Additionally, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) must develop a strategy to identify "climate change risk zones" for vulnerable individuals. This strategy will consider environmental factors, healthcare access, language proficiency, health insurance, socioeconomic status, and housing, with public input and interagency coordination.
