Assessing current and future climate impacts

Communities can use the BRACE framework to identify and address the climate related vulnerabilities faced by disproportionately impacted and marginalized populations. 

As a reminder of the connections between climate risks and health equity, the Health Impacts of Climate Change: The Role of JEDI section in Part 1 describes the climate risks like heat-related illness, allergies, vector-borne disease, injury, mental health, respiratory disease and illness, gastrointestinal disease, and violence. This information can be helpful as initial brainstorming for your assessment.
