The 21^st century is grappling with a myriad of challenges. Among those challenges, natural disasters and calamities pose a severe peril to human lives and limbs around the world. Chaotic weather conditions and unpredictable rainfalls have made the human population vulnerable across the globe [1]. It leads to increased morbidity and mortality among the destitute segments, specifically among women and children. The perturbation of climatic turmoil halts the growth of both the former and the latter. Children are deprived of the basic necessities that they need to grow at the desired level, while women are left in dilapidating conditions due to which they face several health impediments. Further, the uncertain climate conditions do not only potentially deteriorate the health conditions of the mother and child, rather they also potentially impair their quality and overall standard of life [2]. According to WHO, World Health Organization, it is estimated that burgeoning numbers of more than two billion population have been affected due to the ferocity of floods during the duration of last two decades. It is also reported that around 47% of natural disasters which have occurred are mainly related to floods [3]. Similarly, climate changes equally affect the health of women and children. Inability to adapt to such untoward weather situations, women and children bear the heavy brunt of it. As a result, children get exposed to various infections and diseases and suffer from malnutrition owing to inadequate provision of diet and nutrients. Further, contaminated water and an unclean environment have a daunting effect on their overall hygiene and well-being. Due to this, they undergo life-long repercussions. Acute diarrhea conditions, cognitive deficiency, fragility, and other gastrointestinal illnesses advance during such appalling weather conditions among them. Such weather conditions are detrimental, as the effects of greenhouse gas emissions are evident and consequently, the earth is warming. Indeed, it is concerning that the warming trend is no longer accelerating at a snail’s pace, rather it is growing with considerable momentum. Further, it has the potential to be continued for several years if apt measures are not taken.
