DESCRIPTION:Climate Change and Health in Africa: From Epidemiology to the Economics of Heat-Attributable Birth Outcomes.Join Wits Planetary Health Research and the Lancet Countdown Africa Regional Centre for a panel discussion on the epidemiological and economic impacts of climate-related maternal and perinatal health risks in Africa. In 2022, heat-related reductions in labour capacity cost the continent an estimated 4.1% of GDP, while heat exposure is linked to preterm birth, low birthweight and stillbirth, especially in low-income settings. Experts in epidemiology, health economics and population health will discuss methodological approaches, data needs and priority research questions.
