The CDC report, Regional Impacts of Climate Change on Health, provides a concise overview of how climate change is impacting health across different U.S. regions. It outlines region-specific climate hazards—such as extreme heat, flooding, and wildfires—and the associated health risks, including respiratory issues, vector-borne diseases, and mental health challenges. The resource helps public health officials, policymakers, and communities understand local vulnerabilities and supports the development of regionally tailored adaptation strategies. With clear visuals and summaries, this factsheet is a valuable tool for raising awareness and planning climate-resilient health responses in the face of growing environmental challenges.
