Climate Change Health Protection and Promotion Act of 2025
This bill creates 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, with special focus on environmental justice communities and medically underserved populations. It requires the development of a National Strategic Action Plan within one year of enactment, to be updated annually, that identifies climate-related health risks and outlines strategies to protect vulnerable communities. The bill also establishes a science advisory board of experts and authorizes $10 million annually for the Office through fiscal year 2031 to support activities including tracking climate health risks, developing preparedness plans, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the health sector.
