Description:

Climate change and climate variability influence human health in a variety of

ways, and it may be important for the public health sector to consider these threats.

Understanding the current and future burden of climate-sensitive diseases may

benefit planning and response activities. As part of the Climate-Ready States and

Cities Initiative (CRSCI), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

introduced the five-step iterative Building Resilience Against Climate Effects

(BRACE) Framework (Figure 1) designed to help the public health sector plan for and adapt to climate-related hazards (http://www.cdc.gov/climateandhealth/BRACE.htm).

Part of BRACE Step 1 is focused on identifying potential climate impacts and

associated health effects. Although this framework is considered to be an iterative

process, each subsequent step builds on Step 1. Therefore, having a firm foundation,

including an understanding of current risk and vulnerabilities, is key to subsequent

steps, such as estimating current and projecting future disease burden.

In order to provide technical assistance and share best practices, the BRACE Methods Community of Practice (CoP) was developed to facilitate collaboration among CRSCI grantees and other partners interested in the connection between historic and future climate-sensitive health outcomes (e.g., heat-related illness [HRI], asthma, and vectorborne diseases). The purpose of this CoP is to explore methods to (1) quantify associations between climate-related environmental hazards and health outcomes, (2) incorporate these associations into projections of climate-sensitive health outcomes, and (3) develop best practices for public health agencies for assessing the future disease burden due to climate change.
