Exploring Climate Change and Flood Adaptation Strategies to Support Health Equity
Communities & Climate Change: Exploring Flood Adaptation Strategies to Support Health Equity
The upcoming two-day virtual workshop will identify barriers and solutions for exploring health risks posed by flooding events. In addition, the workshop will address effective adaptation strategies for community resilience and ways to foster partnerships among government, academia, and the private sector to implement these strategies locally. Day 1 of the workshop will focus on identifying the barriers to exploring health risks from flooding events. Day 2 will focus on effective adaptation strategies for community resilience and ways to foster partnerships among government, academia, and the private sector.
“This fourth and final workshop in the Environmental Health Matters Initiative’s (EHMI) series on Communities, Climate Change, and Health Equity will build on past EHMI and National Academies work to explore health risks posed by flooding events, discuss effective adaptation strategies for equitable community resilience, and foster partnerships among government, academia, and the private sector to implement these strategies locally. This will be a two-day virtual workshop.”
National Academies’ Climate Resources
“From more extreme weather to more frequent and intense wildfires, the climate is changing in ways that pose increasing risks to people and ecosystems. Explore the National Academies’ expert advice to help the nation understand, prepare for, and limit future climate change.”
National Academies’ Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Resources
“Research in social science, medicine, and other fields can shed light on the factors that drive systemic racial inequities — not only in society at large, but also within the sciences, engineering, and medicine — with the goal of finding solutions based on evidence. A range of studies, webinars, and other activities at the National Academies have explored this research, some of which are highlighted here.”

Mitigating the Effects of Climate Change with Nature-based Solutions
Nature-based solutions hold the potential to make a significant impact on mitigating the effects of climate change. By harnessing the power of ecosystems and biodiversity, we can reduce our carbon emissions and remove existing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. A standard nature-based solution is reforestation and afforestation. By planting trees, we can capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, reducing the concentration of greenhouse gases. Healthy and diverse forests also provide essential ecosystem services, such as regulating water cycles and preventing soil erosion.
Wetlands restoration is another nature-based solution that can play a crucial role in mitigating climate change. Wetlands act as natural carbon sinks, storing large amounts of carbon in the soil. Restoring wetland habitats sequesters carbon, provides valuable habitats for wildlife, and reduces the impacts of natural disasters. Sustainable land management practices, such as agroforestry and conservation agriculture, can help to improve soil health and increase carbon storage in agricultural lands. In summary, nature-based solutions offer a practical approach to combating climate change.
