19 Our opportunity: Create conditions for a healthy, equitable, low-carbon future

20 Adaptive Capacity & Resilience Influence Health Outcomes Adaptive Capacity is the ability of communities, institutions, or people to adjust to potential hazards, to take advantage of opportunities, or to respond to consequences. Resilience is the ability to prepare and plan for, absorb, recover from, and more successfully adapt to adverse events. Balbus, J., A. Crimmins, J.L. Gamble, D.R. Easterling, K.E. Kunkel, S. Saha, and M.C. Sarofim, 2016: Ch. 1: Introduction: Climate Change and Human Health. The Impacts of Climate Change on Human Health in the United States: A Scientific Assessment. U.S. Global Change Research Program, Washington, DC,

21 Purpose of Adaptation Plans Ensure the health sector works with partners in the environment and other related communities, and follows a systematic process to Engage in the overall adaptation process Identify strategic goals for building health resilience to climate change Develop a plan with prioritized activities to achieve these goals, within a specified time period and given resources

22 Essential Services of Public Health Assessment Monitor health status to identify and solve community health problems. Diagnose and investigate health problems and health hazards in the Policy community. Development Inform, educate, and empower people about health issues. Mobilize community partnerships and action to identify and solve health problems. Assurance Evaluate effectiveness, accessibility, and quality of personal & population-based Climate Change Role Tracking of diseases and trends related to climate change Investigation of infectious water-, food-, and vector-borne disease Climate outbreaks Change Role Informing the public & policymakers about health impacts of climate change Public health partnerships to craft and implement solutions Climate Change Role Existence/Availability of preparedness efforts such as heatwave plans

25 Public Health practice and planning Examples of Current Practice: Promote land use and transportation policies that support healthy choices active transportation, park/green space planning; reduce air pollution; support economic prosperity for all Emergency preparedness/response during events heat events, flooding Blueprint for Climate Change, Health & Equity: Goal: Develop integrated Public Health system that addresses the intersection of climate change, health and equity and reflects the values, concerns and priorities of Public Health, partners and our community. Engage internal and external stakeholders to solicit input to develop a Blueprint Raise awareness and increase understanding about climate change and health

26 Preliminary Blueprint Development Findings: Key Themes Community s main concerns focused on key issues such as healthy, affordable food access; housing; and, transportation. Inadequate representation and connection with community on planning efforts. Public Health Department has a unique connection to the community. Public Health can be an effective communication framework. Critical to consider near and long term health impacts of climate change.
