Maintenance of neonatal health is a crucial event in public health owing to its significant impact on the child’s survival and lifelong well-being. Climate change has been acknowledged as one of the most significant global public health challenges of the current century, which tends to affect the physical, mental, and social well-being. Multiple climate-induced diseases and consequences have been reported among neonates. Considering the impact of climate change on neonatal health in multiple ways, and the fact that most of these are preventable, there is an immense need to adopt targeted public health interventions. In conclusion, climate change tends to affect neonatal health in multiple ways and this calls for the need to adopt a multipronged approach involving different stakeholders, including global leaders to work collectively in the direction of minimizing the potential impact.
