+### DEP0168: Unhandled exception in Node-API callbacks
+
+<!-- YAML
+changes:
+  - version:
+    - v18.3.0
+    - v16.17.0
+    pr-url: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/36510
+    description: Runtime deprecation.
+-->
+
+Type: Runtime.
+
+The implicit suppression of uncaught exceptions in Node-API callbacks is now
+deprecated.
+
+Set the flag [`--force-node-api-uncaught-exceptions-policy`][] to force Node.js
+to emit an [`'uncaughtException'`][] event if the exception is not handled in
+Node-API callbacks.
