Overview

Review highlights climate change's effects on elderly populations, suggesting urban policies need integration to address vulnerability.

  • Evidence indicates that current policies may inadequately address social vulnerability, particularly for the growing elderly demographic.
  • The review highlights the need for urban policies to integrate insights from various disciplines, ensuring equity in climate resilience efforts.
  • Addressing both physiological and cognitive vulnerabilities is essential for creating effective and equitable urban adaptations for the elderly population.
