After the industrial revolution, mankind has been responsible for the emission of large quantities of greenhouse gases (GHG) on the planet. These emissions have been affecting the global temperature, causing changes in climatic variables exponentially over time, which is currently known as Climate Change. In this way, human beings, as a species dependent on their physical and social environment, are affected in different ways by this international problem. One of these is the increase in health problems, particularly in the group of newborn babies. Thus, in the literature review, it was found that different recent empirical studies in the field of economics found a causal relationship between climate variables and the health of newborns. However, most of these studies were conducted for the cases of developed countries, cases different from the Latin American context, especially Peru. Therefore, the main objective of this research is to estimate the impact of various climatological factors on the health status of newborns in Peru during the period 2010 - 2020. In this sense, it is hypothesised that changes in precipitation and temperature during the prenatal stage negatively affect the health of the newborn. Therefore, based on the econometric work proposed by Andalón et al. (2016), it is expected to find that there is a negative causal relationship between these variables.
