Project Description
This proposed project will develop an equity- informed strategy that includes community level identified climate change topics such as heat stress and energy costs, determinants of health, and environmental justice concerns data to share with local and state level Louisiana Public Health officials who would have an interest in incorporating these data into existing plans, policies, and programs.
