Creates an Office of Climate Change and Health Equity inside HHS to lead federal work on how climate change affects health, requires a national strategic action plan within one year and annual updates, and sets up a permanent scientific advisory board and periodic National Academies reports to guide preparedness and response. The law preserves existing agency authorities, requires coordination and consultation with affected communities and partners, and authorizes funding to run the office, implement the plan, and support the advisory board and reports.
