Register Now for the EPA Climate Change and Children's Health and Well-Being in the U.S. Report Webinar

On April 25, 2023, EPA announced a new national-scale, multi-sector report that showcases some of the ways children are especially vulnerable to a variety of health effects from climate change due to physical, cognitive, behavioral, and social factors.  

EPA will host a public webinar on Monday, May 22, 2023, from 2:30 – 3:30pm E.T. to discuss the report. Register now. Participants can submit questions in advance by emailing them to cira@epa.gov.

The peer-reviewed report quantifies projected health effects associated with extreme heat, air quality, changing seasons, flooding, and infectious diseases. Where possible, the analyses consider the extent to which health effects disproportionately fall on children who are Black, Indigenous and people of color [BIPOC], low income, without health insurance, and/or have limited English proficiency.  

To access the report and associated materials go to the Climate Change and Children's Health and Well-Being in the United States Report webpage.
