Climate Change Health Protection and Promotion Act of 2025

This bill establishes the Office of Climate Change and Health Equity within the Department of Health and Human Services to coordinate federal efforts addressing climate change's health impacts. It requires the creation of a National Strategic Action Plan to identify communities most affected by climate-related health threats - including environmental justice communities, medically underserved communities, and Tribal communities - and develop strategies for preparedness and response. The plan must address specific health impacts like extreme heat, air pollution, infectious diseases, and mental health effects, while prioritizing health equity and environmental justice. The bill also creates a Science Advisory Board to provide expert guidance and authorizes funding for these initiatives over several years. These provisions are designed to strengthen the health sector's ability to respond to climate change impacts across the United States.
