Climate Change & Health Equity Resources

The resources that follow here related generally to the health impacts of climate and its sequelae. You can visit the Office of Climate Change and Health Equity (OCCHE) Health Sector Resource Hub to explore specific supports for health sector organizations taking the critical steps necessary to become resilient to climate threats and reduce emissions. OCCHE has also created a Quickfinder for Leveraging the IRA for the Health Sector, which explores how the landmark law’s billions of dollars in grants, loan programs, and tax credits can help transform the industry by significantly increasing access to funds that will create resilient and renewable infrastructure. This will be augmented in early 2024 by a new Catalytic Program on Utilizing the IRA.
