Tribal Climate Health Assurance Act of 2024
The Tribal Climate Health Assurance Act of 2024 establishes the "Climate Ready Tribes Initiative" to help tribal communities address climate-related health risks. It directs the CDC, in partnership with the National Indian Health Board, to translate climate science, develop planning tools, and share resources for tribal governments and health programs. The bill authorizes $110 million annually starting in 2025 specifically for this initiative, with funds prohibited from being diverted to other CDC programs. This funding enables tribes to prepare for climate impacts like heatwaves or air quality changes that directly affect community health.
