Climate change is increasing health risks for underserved communities in Nigeria, especially for pregnant women, newborns, and young children. Rising temperatures, frequent floods, and poor environmental sanitation are putting more pressure on already weak health systems, leading to worrying maternal and neonatal outcomes.

To address this, we created a user-friendly digital platform that provides climate-smart healthcare support. It helps health workers, pregnant women, nursing mothers, and caregivers of children under five in underserved communities access timely climate-health alerts, essential health information, and telehealth services tailored to their needs.

TEAF-CHE Climate & Health Observatory (CHO) is a platform that brings together climate data and health data to help Nigerians understand how climate change is affecting their health. It serves as a central hub where communities, health workers, policymakers, and researchers can access reliable information, early warnings, and practical guidance.

In Nigeria, the lack of access to safe Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) facilities remains a critical public health challenge, especially in schools and underserved communities. Climate change is intensifying this crisis, rising temperatures, erratic rainfall, flooding, and droughts are contaminating water sources and damaging sanitation infrastructure. This exacerbates the spread of waterborne diseases, increases school absenteeism (particularly among girls), and deepens health inequities.

Addressing WASH through climate-resilient solutions is essential to safeguarding public health and achieving environmental justice.
