As the climate crisis intensifies extreme weather events, increases global temperatures, and accelerates sea level rise, communities least able to respond are bearing the largest burden. This two-day virtual workshop brought together people with lived experience, environmental health experts, resilience practitioners, and climate scientists to outline the disproportionate impact that climate change has on communities experiencing health disparities and environmental injustice. The workshop addressed three critical questions. Speakers and participants shared their visions for the future and suggested specific policies decision-makers can implement today to address the intersecting crises of climate change and health inequity.
