The Department of Health and Human Services is preparing a new office that will treat climate change as a public-health issue
The Department of Health and Human Services is preparing to launch an office that will treat climate change as a public health issue, designed to address what the White House says are health risks including those that disproportionately affect poor and minority communities.
People familiar with the planning for the new office said resources are being assembled now, without providing further details. The HHS declined to comment, including on when the new office would be operative, but the agency’s website says a briefing is scheduled Monday morning regarding the Biden administration’s “efforts to tackle the climate crisis.”
