Workshop objectives were to (1) receive an overview of the health implications of climate change; (2) explore mitigation, prevention, adaptation, and resilience-building strategies deployed by different sectors at various levels locally and nationally; and (3) discuss aspects of collaboration on climate and population health issues among community-based organizations, health care systems, businesses, and public health and other local government agencies, along with lessons learned. This article highlights parts of the workshop proceedings that discuss transportation as related to community health and climate issues such as improving health via transportation, addressing health through infrastructure, and mitigating heat in urban areas.
