CDPH’s Climate Change and Health Equity Branch provides free climate and health equity technical assistance (TA) to Tribes and to Local Health Departments or Jurisdictions.

We equip LHJs and Tribes to serve their own populations and forge partnerships that increase overall capacity to mitigate and build resilience​ to climate change. Our work connects California LHJs and Tribes with each other and with CDPH to share resources, strategies, best practices, opportunities, and mutual support through barriers and challenges.

We provide TA through one-on-one cons​​ultation​, Local Health Jurisdiction Climate and Health Community of Practice​, and through Local Health Jurisdiction Office Hours.

We can advise with: Embedding health and climate considerations into planning projects; Accessing relevant state and federal data; Identifying funding sources to carry out a wide range of efforts that can promote health and address climate change impacts; Implementing related plans, programs, and projects; E​​valuating related plans, programs, and projects.
