Home » Community Action » Health and Equity » Communities, Climate Change, and Health Equity: A Workshop Series

Communities, Climate Change, and Health Equity: A Workshop SeriesAs climate change worsens air pollution, expands urban heat islands, and intensifies extreme weather events, communities least able to respond often bear the largest health burden.

This workshop National Academies series explores the current state of knowledge about climate-related health disparities. Participants will explore specific actions to take when working with communities to improve climate-related health outcomes and invest in health equity.
