Protecting Moms and Babies Against Climate Change Act

Summary

The bill directs the Health and Human Services Secretary to set up a competitive grant program for ten organizations that serve vulnerable mothers, babies and young children in areas most exposed to heat, air pollution and extreme weather. Grants must target places with high social vulnerability, poor air quality, high temperatures and high rates of maternal health problems, and they must address racial and ethnic disparities while avoiding new environmental or housing harms. The measure is intended to reduce preterm birth, low birth weight, maternal mortality and other serious outcomes linked to climate change.
