Abstract
RETRACTION NOTE
JPNIM strives to provide original academic content.
On submission of a paper to JPNIM, in the submission form, the authors declare explicitly that their submission is original, i.e. it has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration. Moreover, before publication, the authors sign a publication agreement containing those declarations.
Unfortunately, the Editors of JPNIM have become aware of the fact that an article with the same title and essentially the same text was published in another journal:
Eskandar K. The Impact of Climate Change on Pediatric Health: A Literature Review on Emerging Risks. Rev Ecuat Pediatr. 2024;25(3):24-36.
For this reason, the Editors of JPNIM have decided to retract the paper due to article duplication.
A separate retraction notice has also been issued: [No Authors listed]. Retraction notice regarding “The impact of climate change on pediatric health: a literature review on emerging risks”. J Pediatr Neonat Individual Med. 2025;14(1):e140116. doi: 10.7363/140116.

Climate change represents one of the most significant global health threats of the 21st century, with children being particularly vulnerable to its effects. This literature review examines the emerging risks posed by climate change on pediatric health, highlighting the multifaceted impacts on respiratory health, heat-related illnesses, vector-borne diseases, nutrition, mental health, and exposure to waterborne pathogens. Additionally, the review explores the disproportionate effects on children from marginalized communities, underscoring the urgent need for targeted interventions and policies. By synthesizing current research, this article aims to raise awareness among healthcare professionals and policymakers about the pressing need to protect pediatric populations from the evolving challenges of climate change.
