BACKGROUND
Short, educational videos at the beginning of CAC meetings can help educate members on important climate topics and keep climate change and climate action topics a priority in our daily lives and CAC monthly meetings.
From poor air quality, more intense and more frequent climate disaster events (floods, wildfires, droughts, extreme heat, etc.), increased spread of pests, and more, global climate change is increasingly affecting more aspects of our lives. This video discusses some of the physical, environmental, and psychological effects that climate change has on community health, as well as some of the steps that individuals and local governments can take towards adapting and better preparing for climate change and its effects.
