Description:CDC’s Climate and Health Program (https://www.cdc.gov/climateandhealth/) helps states, cities, territories, and tribes protect human health from a changing climate. CDC provides data, tools, and technical guidance to help U.S. health agencies reduce vulnerability and increase resilience to the health effects of climate change.
CDC’s Climate-Ready States and Cities Initiative (CRSCI) funds 16 state and two city health departments. CRSCI grantees use the Building Resilience Against Climate Effects (BRACE) framework to identify and estimate the health effects of climate change in their communities, choose public health interventions for the health impacts of greatest concern, and develop and implement climate health adaptation plans.
Studying health effects from a changing climate presents challenges. Health impacts vary by location, and climate adaptation actions must be tailored to local contexts. Below we’ve provided some of the evidence-based strategies to address the health impacts of climate change, and how some CRSCI grantees are successfully implementing them.
