HRES 568 United States House · 119th Congress

Recognizing that climate change poses a growing threat to public health and necessitates coordinated action to mitigate its impacts and safeguard the health and well-being of all people in the United States.

This is a non-binding House resolution (HRES 568) that recognizes climate change as a critical public health threat in the U.S. It does not create new laws but expresses congressional support for coordinated action. The resolution specifically urges the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to improve climate resilience in healthcare systems, prioritize funding for underserved communities (including Tribal nations and rural hospitals), and reinstate climate-focused offices like the Office of Climate Change and Health Equity. It also recommends HHS develop better data tools on climate-health impacts and support worker protections against heat exposure. The resolution focuses on guiding federal agency actions, not mandating specific policy changes.
