RMI National Climate Change and Health Action Plan Revised Action Planned

A number of key health issues – food and water safety and security, respiratory and vector-borne diseases, mental health, and extreme weather-related impacts – were identified as priorities. In addition, barriers to implementation of the plan, such as insufficient funding and human resources, apathy and stigma, were highlighted. Stakeholders suggested responsible RMI agencies, strategies to manage these risks and timeframes. The strategies include increased resource allocation, educational campaigns, and continuing communication and engagement, particularly with traditional leaders, landowners, and community and faith-based groups
