The disproportionate impact of climate change on older adults, a population with high sensitivity to environmental changes, is of key public health importance. Its impact on socioeconomically vulnerable older adults must also be accounted for when considering resource allocation for prevention and mitigation. In this chalk talk, proposals to address this area of research will be discussed.
