The Climate and Health Program uses CDC's Evaluation Framework to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of climate and health work. To highlight the evaluation planning process for climate and health, the program has translated the steps of the CDC Evaluation Framework into a video series. The videos showcase best practices evaluators can apply, as well as some common challenges, using real-world examples of today's most pressing climate threats, namely heat, flooding, and insect vectors.
The AQUA tool is an easy-to-use excel spreadsheet model that city staff can use with minimal guidance. It uses population, exposure, health and economic cost data, as well as epidemiologic evidence to help users calculate how emission changes can benefit local air quality and health.
