What it does
The Climate Change Health Protection and Promotion Act of 2025 would establish an 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 Secretary of Health and Human Services to develop and publish a national strategic action plan within one year of enactment, with annual updates, to prepare the health care sector for climate-related threats such as extreme heat, infectious diseases, and air pollution, while reducing the sector’s greenhouse gas emissions. The bill focuses on protecting disproportionately affected populations, including environmental justice and medically underserved communities, through data tracking, workforce development, community engagement, and interagency collaboration. It also creates a science advisory board to provide expert guidance on climate and health equity issues.
