Climate Change and Health Equity
• What is the existing burden of disease ?
• What are the existing inequities in health outcomes?
• What is producing population vulnerabilities and inequities in the health outcomes?
• How will climate change impact health outcomes and the factors producing health inequities
“Climate change will, absent other changes, amplify some of the existing health threats the nation now faces. Certain people and communities are especially vulnerable, including children, the elderly, the sick, the poor, and some communities of color.” – 3rd National Assessment of Climate Change, 2014

Cumulative Impact of Social Determinants of Health Over the Life Cycle and Generations
Life Expectancy by Census Tract, Alameda County, 2000 A White child from the Oakland Hills can expect to live to 85
years old, whereas an African-American child living in West
Oakland—just a few miles away—can expect to live only to
70.
The child from West Oakland is:
• 1.5 times more likely to be born prematurely
• 7 times more likely to be born
into poverty
• 2 times as likely to live in a home that is rented
• 4 times more likely to have parents with only a high-school
education
• 2.5 times more likely to be behind in childhood
vaccinations
• 4 times less likely to read at
grade level by fourth grade
• 4 times as likely to live in a neighborhood with double the
density of liquor stores and fast
food outlets
• 5.6 times more likely to drop out of school
As an adult, he or she is:
• 5 times more likely to be hospitalized for diabetes
• 2 times more likely to be hospitalized for heart
disease
• 2 times more likely to die of heart disease
• 3 times more likely to die of stroke
• 2 times as likely to die of cancer

How Does Climate Change Interact with Health Inequities and Factors that Produce Them?
• Poorer health is more prevalent in socially vulnerable populations
• Some vulnerable/disadvantaged live in higher climate risk areas (e.g., poor disproportional residing in urban heat islands)
• Some vulnerable populations have lower adaptive capacity
• Inequities in co-benefits or harms of climate mitigation or adaptation strategies, or inaction
