Creates a new federal office and plan to protect Americans' health from climate change.
This bill would create a new Office of Climate Change and Health Equity within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). This office would lead federal efforts to understand and respond to how climate change affects people's health and the healthcare system. It would also develop a national plan to prepare communities and healthcare providers for climate-related health threats.
Currently, there is no dedicated federal office or a comprehensive national strategic action plan specifically focused on preparing the health sector for climate change impacts. This bill would create the Office of Climate Change and Health Equity within HHS and require a national strategic action plan to coordinate federal efforts, provide resources, and help communities and the healthcare system get ready for climate-related health threats.
