ADDITIONAL MEETING OPPORTUNITIES:

California Adaptation Forum Aug. 19-20, 2014
The Local Government Commission (See:  http://www.lgc.org/) and
the State of California (See:  http://www.climatechange.ca.gov/)
are organizing the first California Adaptation Forum in the state
capital, to be held August 19-20, 2014. This two-day forum will
build off last year’s successful National Adaptation Forum (See: 
http://www.nationaladaptationforum.org/) in Colorado. The
attendance of many California leaders there underscored the need
for a California-focused event, which will be held every other
year to complement the biennial national forum.  Registration
opens in May.

WEB FORUM: Climate Change and Health -- A Framework for Action  
May 14, 9:00-10:15 a.m. PST
Join the CDC's George Luber, the Public Health Institute’s (PHI)
Dr. Linda Rudolph, director of University of Wisconsin’s Global
Health Institute Dr. Jonathon Patz, and Sandi Galvez of the Bay
Area Regional Health Inequities Initiative (BARHII) for a
provocative presentation on why climate change is something that
everyone in public health should be addressing, and why everyone
working on climate change should be thinking about health.  This
Web Forum is sponsored by the Public Health Institute, and the
National Association of County and City Health Officials.

REMINDER:  NEXT CAT-PHWG MEETING IS JULY 22, 1-4pm
