Climate Change & Health Adaptation Resource Guide 

The Climate Change and Health Adaptation Resource Guide is designed to empower local health departments (LHDs) in their efforts to address the complex intersections of climate change and public health. Originally developed during the Fall 2022 Climate and Health Adaptation Workshops, this guide has since become a comprehensive, evolving resource that will be updated as needed.

Packed with actionable insights, case studies, resource hubs, toolkits, and funding opportunities, the guide serves as a vital tool for LHDs to navigate challenges such as extreme heat, vector-borne diseases, and weather-related health impacts. It supports climate change adaptation efforts, fosters cross-sector collaboration, and promotes resilience in communities across New York State.

Your feedback and contributions are invaluable! If you have resources to share, updates to suggest, or notice any issues, please reach out to Danielle Pellino at [email protected].
