Recent directives from the Trump administration have led to the removal of several climate and health resources from federal websites. Fortunately, many organizations have stepped up to preserve these resources and data. You can find them below. The Consortium will update this page as frequently as possible. If there is a resource you don’t see reflected here, please let us know at info@ms2ch.org.
HHS Health Sector Climate Pledge
This webpage was created as part of an effort by Health Care Without Harm and Practice Greenhealth to preserve the information and resources of the HHS Health Sector Climate Pledge, an initiative started in 2022 under the Biden Administration.
Public Environmental Data Project
The Public Environmental Data Project is committed to preserving and providing public access to federal environmental data. Relevant tools that are currently available include:
CDC’s Social Vulnerability Index and Environmental Justice Index
The Council on Environmental Quality EJScorecard
The Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool
Other Access to Data Sets
Reach out to Flourish and Thrive (cdcdatarequest@fandtlabs.com) if you are a public health official and need access to data sets from the CDC like NHIS, Social Vulnerability Index, or PLACES.

Census tracts that are marginalized by underinvestment and overburdened by pollution are highlighted as being disadvantaged on the map. Federally Recognized Tribes, including Alaska Native Villages, are considered disadvantaged communities, whether or not they have land. This is an unofficial copy of the CEJST Tool. We are working on an overhaul, but in the meantime some links and text may incorrectly suggest that this site is affiliated with the US Government.
