Climate change is transforming the lives of older people, who face increased risks from extreme heat, climate-related disasters, air pollution, and shifting disease patterns. This groundbreaking volume examines why older adults are disproportionately affected and how these vulnerabilities intersect with social, economic, and health inequalities. The book also moves beyond vulnerability, showcasing older people as active contributors to climate change activism and resilience.

Bringing together international research spanning gerontology, public health, anthropology, and urban planning, the book maps the rapidly developing field of aging and climate change and outlines practical pathways for building age-inclusive climate responses.
