The urgency to address both population ageing and climate change necessitates a rethink and assessment of the impact of climate change on older people. Climate change not only directly impacts older people's longevity but also healthy ageing, which is the process of maintaining physical and mental capacities while optimising functional abilities. This includes identifying what can be done to anticipate, mitigate and adapt to climate change and engage older persons.

The following are they key results given by the publication:

• Major hazards and some key exposure pathways include extreme temperatures, wildfire, drought, flooding, storm and sea level rise, air quality, climate-sensitive infectious diseases, food and water insecurities, health and social care system displacement, migration, and relocation.
• Strategies to address climate change require interventions to improve systems and infrastructure to reduce vulnerability and increase resilience;
• As a heterogeneous group, older people's perceptions of climate change should be integrated into climate activism. Increasing climate change literacy among older people and enabling them to promote intergenerational dialogue will drive the development and implementation of equitable solutions
