Your supervisor has asked you to prepare a grant proposal to secure funding for future climate change-related emerging environmental health issues in your community. The first step is to persuade the board of directors that funding is needed and your time will be well spent on writing the grant.
Review the Executive Summary of the Climate and Health Assessment here: https://health2016.globalchange.gov/downloads and choose one of the topics in the assessment.
Once you have chosen a topic, write a 500-word persuasive essay that includes:
- A detailed discussion of the emerging environmental health issue created by climate change.
- How can federal, state, and local government and non-government organizations effectively address the issue?
- The measures that need to be taken to prevent harm from these environmental hazards in the future.
Be sure you are informing and then persuading the board of directors that this is an important issue and that it is best to secure funding now before a health hazard arises and there is an immediate need for funds.
