Climate Risk and Resilience
Exploring the Intersection of Climate Change, Health, and Community Resilience
Climate change is more than just an environmental challenge—it is a public health crisis that disproportionately impacts vulnerable populations.
Low-income communities, people of color, and those with preexisting health conditions often face the greatest risks from extreme weather, air pollution, and other climate-related hazards. The pathways often intersect and amplify one another, leading to more severe health consequences. By understanding exposure pathways, we can work together to advance climate resilience and health equity.

As climate change continues to impact communities, health and technical assistance centers play a crucial role in building resilience and supporting their patients in adopting measures to protect their health and well-being.
The centers that are willing to implement resilience measures not only strengthen their capacity to respond to climate-related health challenges but also empower their patients to take proactive steps toward safeguarding their health in the face of extreme weather, natural disasters, and other climate impacts.
