Key Findings
• Heat waves will become increasingly common
.
and will create health and economic risks for
vulnerable populations.
• Climate change will not affect all Pennsylvanians
equally due to differences in location, income,
housing, health, or other factors.
• All hazards-especially heat waves, increasing
temperatures, and flooding-could affect public
health negatively.
Landslides and sea level rise pose relatively low
risks statewide but can cause severe impacts in
the locations where they occur.
• Where changes occur slowly, Pennsylvania can
not only prevent harm, but also can
capitalize on positive changes.
