Summary: Climate change is the biggest global health threat of the 21st century, impacting short-term and long-term reproductive health. As climate conditions deteriorate, less healthy parents will give birth to offspring with increased risk of reproductive outcomes. It is crucial to go beyond the focus on healthy pregnancies and consider the long-term implications of climate change, including policy strengthening, engaging healthcare providers, ensuring equitable and sustainable mitigation strategies, and conducting research to guide policy efforts.

Summary: The call for climate action has garnered worldwide support, particularly among young people. However, the discourse surrounding climate change has become increasingly hostile, potentially leading to intergenerational conflicts when cooperation is crucial. To examine the impact of these messages on intergenerational relations, a sample of 50 influential individuals was selected using a purposive sampling method. Through a summative content analysis, the results were categorized into messages of intergenerational tension and messages of intergenerational solidarity. It was found that the presentation of these messages can either unite or divide different generations, highlighting the importance of promoting inclusivity and cooperation for a common future.
