Public Health Adaptation Strategies

Strategy/Description:

The Public Health working group is in the initial stages of team formulation and the development of their proposed draft adaptation strategies. Primary areas of concern include climate change scenarios and their impacts on current public health challenges, targeting both extended heat waves and drought, among others. These efforts will be supported by public meetings and workshops with stakeholders and agency staff.
