Heat and Pregnancy: UN climate chief Simon Stiell warned that extreme heat is increasingly linked to premature births, stillbirths, low birth weight and maternal complications. Pacific health workers and pregnant people face growing risks as the region warms. Climate Threats to Health: In Kiribati, king tides are flooding homes and babai gardens and salting freshwater supplies; exposed ancestral graves and damaged food sources show the toll on community wellbeing. Pacific disability advocates also say inaccessible evacuation plans and water infrastructure put people with disabilities at greater risk. Pandemic Preparedness: Kiribati is among 12 Western Pacific countries in a new regional project to strengthen disease surveillance, laboratory capacity and emergency response, backed by a US$35.99 million grant and more than US$188 million in co-financing and government investment.
