Environmental challenges are increasing as the world faces the negative consequences of global climate change. However, little attention has been paid to the enormous threat climate change poses to the health and well-being of the rapidly expanding older population. This lecture explores three key issues in the intersection of aging and climate change:
1. Older adults are especially vulnerable to extreme heat and climate-related disasters, yet planning
for their unique needs has been minimal.
2. Older persons constitute a critically important source of solutions to environmental problems.
Climate change has important implications for elder service providers.
3. Successful strategies for engaging older adults as key participants in climate change prevention,
mitigation, and resilience are presented
