Public Health Law & Policy (PHLP) has made an ambitious commitment to provide the public health community with the practical tools, policy strategies, and legal resources they need to effectively participate in climate change planning activities taking place at the state, regional, and local levels. To accomplish this, PHLP is working in cooperation with a diverse coalition of stakeholders, including experts in public health, land use planning, climate science, and environmental law.
