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.”
