| Comment |
There has been a regional effort through funding from private foundations to create awareness about the built environment and its impacts to public health. Specifically, local governments are working with community partners to create access to healthy foods and physical activity. This being done with support from local foundations such as The California Endowment's Central California Regional Obesity Prevention Program. Programs such as this are educating and creating awareness at all levels of the spectrum from policy makers to community residents. Foundations are supporting local governments and community partners because they recognize the public health impacts as well as the tie to climate change. Recommendation: Make sure to include a thorough evaluation of public health impacts with the scoping plan. |
