Climate change is already affecting our health—through extreme heat, poor air quality, and severe weather. These impacts are felt most in communities that have faced systemic inequities for years. But by taking bold, equitable action, we can build stronger, healthier communities.

Everyone can make a difference. Stay prepared by monitoring air quality and extreme weather, support local climate education efforts, and advocate for cleaner energy solutions. Together, we can create a healthier future for all.
