Climate Change is an infrastructure issue requiring cross-agency coordination.
Infrastructure includes health facilities, roads, and utilities - especially water. While
John Kerry will focus on international aspects of health, the rumor is that a domestic
counterpart will also be appointed at the cabinet level. Such an appointment is very
necessary, to lead an interdepartmental council focused on the broader aspects of climate
change to infrastructure.

Subject: [TRBHealth] Re: National Institute of Climate Change and Health
Interesting points, but isn't a great deal of money already being spent on studying
these issues, by advocacy groups, think tanks, universities, governments, and individuals?
Plus, one would think that Biden appointing John Kerry to be climate change ambassador on
the National Security Council would help draw attention and resources to the issues.
