The Green New Deal for Health Act establishes a comprehensive framework to address the health impacts of climate change and decarbonize the healthcare sector. It creates an Office of Climate Change and Health Equity within HHS to coordinate a federal response and develop a national strategic action plan. This plan will assess climate change's health effects, identify vulnerable populations, track healthcare emissions, and recommend strategies for preparedness and response. The bill mandates new requirements for hospitals regarding service discontinuation or closure, ensuring continued access to essential services , especially in the face of catastrophic events. It also significantly increases funding for community health centers, directing at least 50 percent of these funds to projects in environmental justice communities . To build resilient infrastructure, the legislation introduces "Green Hill-Burton" funds for medical facility construction and modernization. These grants prioritize projects that enhance climate resilience and sustainability, such as installing renewable energy systems, improving air quality, and implementing green infrastructure. A new Planning and Evaluation Grant Program will help entities develop sustainability and resiliency plans, with priority given to facilities serving medically underserved and environmental justice communities. The bill establishes an Office of Sustainability and Environmental Impact within the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to support healthcare decarbonization and mitigate environmental harms. It also mandates climate risk disclosure for medical supplies, requiring a task force to develop policies for manufacturers to calculate and publicly disclose emissions. Furthermore, a Council on Green Health Care Manufacturing will assess global medical supply chains and recommend regulations for sustainable, zero-emission, and domestically based manufacturing. To cultivate a climate-ready health workforce, the Act provides grants to health professions schools for education and training on climate change health risks, with a focus on disproportionately affected individuals. It also aims to expand the community health workforce by 150,000 workers by 2031, establishing permanent positions and training opportunities related to climate and environmental health hazards. Emergency grants are authorized to safeguard essential healthcare workers during disasters, offering hazardous duty compensation and safety measures. The legislation supports resilient communities by establishing a grant program for community mental wellness and resilience programs , taking a public health approach to strengthen psychological and emotional well-being. It also mandates a study on extreme heat information and response and creates a financial assistance program for community heat resilience projects, prioritizing vulnerable populations. Finally, Medicare coverage is expanded to include medically necessary home resiliency services for individuals at risk from climate or man-made disasters, such as heat pumps or solar batteries for essential medical equipment. A National Climate and Health Research and Innovation Initiative is established to advance understanding, prevention, and mitigation of climate change's health harms. This initiative will support research into physical and mental health impacts, sustainable healthcare operations, and climate-related housing issues. An interagency committee and an advisory council will coordinate and guide these research efforts, ensuring a comprehensive and equitable approach to climate and health challenges.
