The bill would require the Department of Health and Human Services, through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and in coordination with the National Indian Health Board, to run the Climate Ready Tribes Initiative. The initiative would share climate science and resources, create tools to help prepare for climate change, support planning for public health impacts, and help identify and address climate-related health threats.
Tribal governments, health departments, and communities could receive climate science, planning tools, and information about resources and funding opportunities through the initiative. The bill does not describe specific services for individuals.
The bill would authorize $110 million for each fiscal year starting in 2026. This is authorized funding, not a guarantee that the money will be provided. The funds could not be transferred or redirected to another program administered by the Secretary of Health and Human Services.
