The CDC Climate and Health Program aids regions in the U.S. to understand and mitigate the diverse health impacts of climate change based on their unique characteristics. The Fourth National Climate Assessment highlights the specific health effects in different regions and outlines actions taken by CDC partners to address climate-related challenges. This summary document presents an overview of the climate-related health impacts across the nation, emphasizing the importance of preparedness and adaptation strategies. While the information provided is health-focused, it does not encompass all possible threats, and local adaptation efforts may extend beyond those detailed in this report. Various climate-related health initiatives are ongoing nationwide, independent of CDC funding.
