Climate Health Emergency Act of 2025

The Climate Health Emergency Act of 2025 would require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to declare a public health emergency specifically in connection with health risks tied to climate change, using the authority of the Public Health Service Act’s section 319. The bill frames climate change as a major and growing threat to public health and argues the federal government must mobilize resources, improve data sharing, exercise emergency authorities, and coordinate across agencies to build a more resilient health system. By directing a PHE declaration, the bill aims to unlock federal response mechanisms and accelerate actions to address climate-related health crises, though the text does not itself provide funding or detailed programs.
