Tribal Climate Health Assurance Act of 2025
The Tribal Climate Health Assurance Act of 2025 establishes the "Climate Ready Tribes Initiative" to help tribal governments, health departments, and communities prepare for climate-related health threats. It requires the CDC, working with the National Indian Health Board, to translate climate science, create planning tools, and share resources for public health preparedness. The bill authorizes $110 million annually starting in fiscal year 2026 specifically for this initiative, with a strict rule that these funds cannot be redirected to other CDC programs. This funding directly supports tribal communities in building capacity to address health risks linked to climate change, such as extreme weather or disease spread.
