The National Association of County Health Officials (NACCHO) released a practical guide to support rural local health departments (LHDs) in their efforts to build a climate-ready workforce. Rural LHDs can refer to this guide when building a climate and health program for the first time, or when scaling up their programs to increase their climate response and adaptation capacity. Although this guide is tailored to assist rural LHDs, the activities may be adaptable to LHDs of varying capacities.
