Durham Health Department completes its first report on climate change and health vulnerability

To help learn, prepare, and act against climate change, Durham Region Health Department has completed its first report in a special series on climate change and health vulnerability in Durham Region available at durham.ca/ClimateAndHealth. The report series will support local health systems, municipalities, community organizations, and residents plan and respond to the growing impacts of climate change. The background primer provides:

• An overview of climate change and its health impacts;
• A framework for understanding climate vulnerability;
• Our approach to assessing vulnerability; and,
• A summary of Durham Region’s environmental and community features that may impact climate vulnerability.
