Significance We examine the most severe climate-related exposures and health effects in California. Health effects vary by certainty, timing, potential health burden, vulnerable populations affected, and available adaptation measures. Throughout this review, we cover various adaptation measures and cobenefits that can accrue along with mitigation. We find that for several of the most certain exposures and health effects, adaptive and mitigative solutions are already available. Climate change, however, presents numerous cross-sectoral challenges that can hinder integrative public health climate solutions.
