WASHINGTON
.
The Obama administration on Tuesday unveiled a long list of actions
ranging from corporate and academic partnerships to community programs to
highlight the health impacts of climate change.
.
Tech giants such as Google and Microsoft will conduct disease research,
universities will train the next generation of health experts and cities
such as Durham, N.C., and Kansas City, Kan., will monitor local air
quality.
.
All of these efforts and others are part of a multipronged approach to
both better educate people on the threat of climate change and how it
could affect their quality of life.
.
The effort stretches across multiple government agencies such as the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institutes of
Health, the Environmental Protection Agency and NASA.
.
President Barack Obama on Monday declared this week National Public Health
Week, with activities focused on the public health dangers of climate
change.

The administration hopes that the acceptance of climate change will rise
and that the public will connect with the issue in a way that brings a
change to daily life, White House senior adviser Brian Deese said in a
phone call with reporters.
.
The most salient arguments around climate change are associated with the
health impacts and are ones that meet people where they are, and that
requires making an argument around how climate is affecting local
communities and individuals, he said.
.
A White House fact sheet noted that while the public generally thinks of
climate change as a trigger for droughts, severe storms and wildfires,
less talked about are the health problems that can result. It said these
particularly occur in low-income communities where many people, for
instance, dont have the advantage of air-conditioning and other amenities
to cope with challenges resulting in heat-related deaths, Deese said.
