Protecting Moms and Babies Against Climate Change Act

This bill would require the Department of Health and Human Services to create a grant program for 10 local groups to protect pregnant people, people who were pregnant in the past year, and children under 3 from climate-related risks such as extreme heat, air pollution, and extreme weather. Grant money could pay for things like air conditioners, weatherization, direct financial help, worker training, and tree planting. The bill would also fund grants for health profession schools to teach about these risks, create a research group at the National Institutes of Health, and require a strategy to identify high-risk areas. It authorizes $100 million and $5 million for fiscal years 2027 through 2030.
