Introduction to Health in All Policies

Public health and urban planning have a shared history and common goals. As Michigan faces more extreme weather events and a changing climate, local governments should consider how climate and health intersect and how that shows up in local policies, planning, and zoning. Health in All Policies is a collaborative approach to improving the health of all people by incorporating health considerations into decision-making across sectors and policy areas (CDC).

This workshop, presented by the MDHHS Michigan Climate Health Adaptation Program (MICHAP), the Michigan Green Communities Program, and EGLE’s Catalyst Communities program, will give participants a chance to apply a climate health lens to their work. This virtual workshop is intended for county/municipal staff and officials in Michigan.
