Climate change has direct impacts on human health, but those impacts vary widely by location. Local health impacts depend on a large number of factors including specific regional climate impacts, demographics and human vulnerabilities, and existing local adaptation capacity. There is a need to incorporate local data and concerns into climate adaptation plans and evaluate different approaches.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has provided funding, technical assistance, and an adaptation framework to assist localities with climate planning and activities. The differing processes with which states, cities, and tribes develop and implement adaptation plans have been observed. We outline examples of the implementation of CDC's framework and activities for local adaptation, with a focus on case studies at differing jurisdictional levels (a state, a city, and a sovereign tribe). The use of local considerations and data are important to inform climate adaptation. The adaptable implementation of CDC's framework is helping communities protect health.
气候变化对人类健康有直接影响，但影响因地点而异。地方卫生影响取决于许多因素，包括特定区域的气候影响、人口统计和人类脆弱性以及现有的地方适应能力。需要将当地数据和关注点纳入气候适应计划，并评估不同方法。
疾病控制与预防中心 (CDC) 提供了资金、技术援助和适应框架，以协助地方进行气候规划和活动。已经观察到各州、城市和部落制定和实施适应计划的不同过程。我们概述了 CDC 框架和地方适应活动的实施情况，重点是不同管辖级别（州、市和主权部落）的案例研究。利用当地的考虑因素和数据对于告知气候适应非常重要。CDC 框架的适应性实施正在帮助社区保护健康。
