Green New Deal for Health Act

The Green New Deal for Health Act establishes a federal Office of Climate Change and Health Equity within the Department of Health and Human Services to coordinate climate and health efforts across government agencies. It requires health care facilities to become more climate-resilient through infrastructure upgrades, mandates climate risk disclosure for medical products, and creates new training programs for health professionals on climate-related health risks. The bill expands Medicare coverage for home resiliency services like heat pumps and solar batteries for individuals medically vulnerable during climate disasters, and provides funding for community mental health programs focused on climate resilience. It prioritizes support for environmental justice communities and individuals disproportionately affected by climate change, including those with certain health conditions, ages, or social vulnerabilities.
