Description:

Local health departments (LHD) are on the frontlines of climate change. A resilient and climate-ready rural workforce can help curb potential risks to public health, including risks to food and water safety, air quality, and mental health disorders caused by a changing climate and extreme weather.

However, rural LHDs may face unique challenges when developing or scaling up their climate activities, including less baseline capacity for applying to funding and grant opportunities, hiring and retaining specialized staff, and dedicating resources to climate activities due to political constraints.
