Cdc's climate and health evaluation page provides more information on monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of climate and health work. more in depth information about the brace framework can be found in the document titled building resilience against climate effects—a novel framework to facilitate climate readiness in public health.

Steps in the brace framework. step 1: forecast climate impacts and assess vulnerabilities. identify the scope of climate impacts, associated potential health outcomes, and the populations and locations vulnerable to these health impacts. step 2: project the disease burden. quantify the additional burden of health outcomes associated with. Human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas. illinois will see more frequent and severe weather events because of climate change. this will have effects on our health and the health of our community. watch this video to learn how we can prepare for these changes. The most commonly identified climate sensitive health risks are vector and water borne diseases, along with the health impacts of extreme weather events. more effort is needed to systematically assess where and why health systems are vulnerable to climate change and use the information to identify effective actions to build resilience. Five sequential steps comprise the brace framework: step 1: anticipate climate impacts and assessing vulnerabilities. step 2: project the disease burden. step 3: assess public health interventions. step 4: develop and implement a climate and health adaptation plan. step 5: evaluate impact and improve quality of activities.

Carbon dioxide is the most important greenhouse gas. there is a natural, healthy level of carbon dioxide in our air so that plants, animals, and humans can live. the problem is that too much carbon dioxide traps too much heat in the air. because of carbon pollution, the amount of heat in the atmosphere is increasing, which is making our climate. Vulnerability assessment case study. a climate and health vulnerability assessment aims to identify the people and places that are most susceptible to hazardous exposures resulting from climate change. previous vulnerability assessments have used overlay analysis for climate sensitive health effects such as heat related 29 32,37 illness .
